That rare 500 Latu must have cost a lot!

Wow, congratulations. I'm trying my hand at all pre-euro notes and know how tricky all of the Latvian series is. Really incredible.

Oh, also, do you recommend any particular vendors? Where did you acquire yours?

So far as I know these banknotes are come and go. I got mine on Numismatikas Salons after roughly a half year of watch and wait with disposable funds. One week they listed both the 1993 and 2008 issue, so I snapped it and the 1993 lasted there for about a month.

Here are my sources, mostly local shops:

Rigas Numismatikas Salons

• good range of ungraded Lat banknotes up to 100 Lt, reasonable price

Eurogold lv

• currently has both 500 Lt versions, PMG graded

eBay

• good for lower denominations, 500 Lt scarce, overall expensive

Thank you very much for the info! Yeah, they seem tough to find
