Namejs ring is among the most often replicated Baltic jewellery pieces: makers and wearers as well as archaeologists use this designation when referring to a certain type of ring. The ring is most popular with men, but women like to wear it too. The original ring has been found in territories populated by Latgallians and in castle mounds on the banks of the Daugava. Namejs rings are a relatively rare find not only because its production demanded and still demands a painstaking and skilful work on the jeweller's part but also because they were usually made of silver. This type of ring was named after the Semigallian chieftain Namejs only in the 1930s when two such rings were found in the Daugmale castle mound and they became favourites for replication and wearing. The popularity of the ring and indeed its very name originated with the novel "Namejs Ring" by Aleksandrs Grins and a portrait of Namejs by Ludolfs Liberts: entirely a product of the artist's imagination. Yet Namejs himself probably had never even seen this ring: the originals found in the gravesites are dated 12th or, at the latest, early 13th century when Namejs had not even been born; during his lifetime such rings were no longer worn. In addition, it was a Latgallian piece of jewellery that Semigallians did not use; the explanation for the Daugmale find is that in ancient times it was a crossroads for the trade routes of artisans and traders of various ethnicities. In the popular imagination, history has married legend and what is important is the concept instead of exact years and historical truth. Namejs ring has come to signify that the wearer has some relationship to Latvia: even if he or she belongs to a different nation, it is evidence that they have some connection with the Latvian land or culture.

The coins will be circulated the same way as any other circulation money, reaching commercial and other enterprises and the population via banks. The authors of the graphic design and plaster cast are Edgars Folks and Jānis Strupulis respectively.

The toad family in Latvia is represented by the common, green, and running toad, and the fire-bellied toad and European common spadefoot, also generally referred to as 'toad', are protected species as is the running toad which was honoured as the Latvian animal-of-the year in 2007. The peculiarities of the way a toad looks, its ability to secrete a foul smelling fluid, and the metamorphosis from a tadpole to an adult are at the basis of many folk beliefs.

The toad is active at night and also in rainy weather, so seeing a toad in bright daylight meant impending rain to those in the know. The Latvians of old considered the toad a creature of the so-called Milk Mother; hence a toad should be honoured by leaving out a bowl of milk - then it would make the cows produce more milk. The House Spirit was also said to sometimes take the form of a toad, so toads were allowed in the house and feed-lot and fed. The special Latvian pagan deity, Mother of Satiation, appeared as a toad to leap around food and lend it satiety.

The toad is associated with fertility: in the ancient Latvian folksongs it carries the water for the beer brewing ritual; its presence helps the harvest. Like the grass snake, the toad was considered to bring blessing to cattle, therefore he who killed a toad risked to have cows go dry and the skin on his hands turn toadlike. By contrast, to circle around a toad three times guarantees good fortune. We are entrusting the toad with just this mission: to bring luck and good fortune to each household where money is spent prudently.
