Did you know? Latvia

Before the euro arrived in 2014, Latvia quietly printed one of the most valuable banknotes on Earth. Its 500-lats note, introduced in 1998, ranked as the world's third most valuable banknote, behind only the Brunei/Singapore $10,000 and the 1,000 Swiss franc note. It carried the profile of a Latvian folk maiden nicknamed Milda, modelled in 1929 on Zelma Brauere, a proofreader at the state printing house. So a single small Baltic nation, with under two million people, was minting paper money so strong that a few notes could hold a fortune in your pocket.

  • Currency Latvia's pre-euro 500-lats banknote was the world's third most valuable note, surpassed only by Brunei/Singapore's $10,000 bill and the 1,000 Swiss franc note.
  • Currency The face on the lats was Milda, a folk maiden drawn in 1929 from Zelma Brauere, a printing-house proofreader, who symbolised purity and a tireless work ethic.
  • Passport power The Latvian passport ranks 8th in the world on the 2025 Henley Passport Index, opening visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 183 destinations.
  • Documents Latvia issues a distinct "alien's (non-citizen's) passport" for former-USSR residents who hold a unique legal status the Constitutional Court ruled is neither citizen, foreigner, nor stateless.
  • Citizenship When independence was restored in 1991, Latvia automatically reinstated citizenship only to people (and their descendants) who held it before the 1940 Soviet occupation.
  • Passport design Latvia's current passport, issued from 2015, themes its pages on the Song and Dance Festival, weaving in the Lielvarde belt and the kokle folk instrument as national symbols.
  • Biometrics Latvia adopted biometric passports early after joining the EU, embedding microchips holding both facial images and fingerprints.
  • Architecture Riga holds one of the world's largest concentrations of Art Nouveau buildings, with over 800 examples making up roughly a third of its UNESCO-listed historic centre.
  • Heritage Latvia's Song and Dance Festival, born in 1873 with 1,000 singers, now gathers around 40,000 performers and is on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
