Puzuris 是拉脫維亞的傳統裝飾品，在視覺和象徵上代表著世界。它在拉脫維亞各地區有許多名字

Latvia has released (Nov. 21) a new €2 coin to mark the Puzuris, a traditional ornament that visually and symbolically represents the world and is native to the country.

拉脫維亞發行了（11 月 21 日）新的 2 歐元硬幣，以紀念 Puzuris，這是一種原產於該國的傳統裝飾品，在視覺和象徵上代表著世界。

Puzuris is known by many names across Latvia’s regions. Hung from the ceiling, it sways at the slightest breath of wind. The deeper meaning of the swaying puzuris involves the concept of the winter solstice when the sun shifts its course towards the spring, is reborn and regains its strength to rise higher. For puzuris to sway effortlessly, it is crafted from light materials and suspended by a thin thread.

Puzuris 在拉脫維亞地區有許多名字。它懸掛在天花板上，微風吹過就會搖晃。搖曳的 puzuris 的更深層意義涉及冬至的概念，當太陽將其路線轉向春天時，重生並重新獲得升得更高的力量。為了讓 puzuris 能夠輕鬆搖擺，它採用輕質材料製成，並用細線懸掛。

Among other purposes, these ornaments were used to adorn rooms for weddings and baby blessing rites. On such occasions, the central puzuris was complemented by multiple smaller ones. Used as an ornament at a wedding, it symbolized the fertility and harmony of the newlyweds, whereas at a baby blessing rite, its swaying movements promised health and prosperity to the newborn.

除其他用途外，這些裝飾品還用於裝飾婚禮和嬰兒祝福儀式的房間。在這種情況下，中央的 puzuris 會由多個較小的 puzuris 來補充。作為婚禮上的裝飾品，它像徵著新婚夫婦的生育與和諧，而在嬰兒祝福儀式上，它的搖擺動作則預示著新生兒的健康和繁榮。

Traditionally, there are two main types of puzuris. The first one is a polyhedron, made of straw or reeds. This geometric depiction of the world is featured on the obverse of the new €2 coin.

傳統上，puzuris 有兩種主要類型。第一個是多面體，由稻草或蘆葦製成。這種對世界的幾何描繪出現在新版 2 歐元硬幣的正面。

The second one is a round turnip, suspended by a thread and pierced with rye straws, representing a hedgehog curled into a ball.

第二個是一個圓形的蘿蔔，用一根線懸掛起來，並用黑麥秸稈刺穿，代表一隻蜷縮成球的刺猬。

The reverse carries the traditional map-and-denomination design common to the €2.

背面採用 2 歐元常見的傳統地圖和麵額設計。

The coin was struck by Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt (the Netherlands).

該硬幣由 Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt（荷蘭）鑄造。

The ringed bimetallic €2 has a mintage limit of 400,000 pieces in circulation quality, which will be released into circulation over time, as needed.

2 歐元環形雙金屬幣的發行量限制為 400,000 枚，將根據需要隨著時間的推移投入流通。
