This photo shows the edge of a 5 Lati silver coin. Does this hexagonal star symbolize Judaism or what else?

  1. i would assume its probably the same meaning as the 3 stars on the freedom monument, which would be the 3 historical regions

  2. It’s just a star sign. They can have different number of “corners” (man, idk what to call them :D), they are protection signs. So it’s either a symbol of the three regions or maybe something that was meant to protect your wealth

  3. If you take 3 star wrenches and turn then at the same time clockwise, the coin thickness will increase

  4. Coins have these edges to prevent “coin clipping” which is scraping off a tiny amount of metal from coins because coins used to be actually valuable metals. The symbols on the edges are irrelevant but all serve the same purpose.

  5. Latvian Euro coins replicate 5 lats from interwar period https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_lats_coin I don’t think anyone knows why the stars are six pointed like Jewish symbol 🔯 as others said they symbolize regions of Vidzeme, Kurzeme and Latgale and usually the three stars are five-pointed

  7. I would assume the connection to the Milda’s 3 stars (statue of liberty) but they are 5 point stars.

  8. Why would it symbolise Judaism in a predominantly Christian country? Why would we put that on our currency? Are you ok mate?

    Ah, it’s the obsessive Korean guy. Makes sense that there is no common sense.

  10. My guess. They were going for the 8 pointed star, but realised it wouldn’t look good on such a thin coin, so decided to adapt to 6 pointed one? 😀

  12. The 3 original regions of Latvia. Same as the 3 stars at the top of the Freedom Monument.

  13. Yes, it’s a secret code! Magic signs – you are so smart and are close to decode it. Keep it up and search for the truth!

  14. Who knows? A lot of Jews people were in our banking system back then, so maybe, there is some vague connection to Judaism? 🤷‍♂️
