Yes, you have Latvia's national symbol Milda in the mark. Milda is a Baltic goddess of love, courtship, friendship and freedom.
Anyway, the ring is not old. It is made after 1994.

Happy Easter to all...

Thanks. I was a little bit concerned because of the purity, 925, but it make sense when you say it's made after 1994.
Happy Eastern :)
Btw, the most happy Finn must be that one who won the EuroJackpot yesterday, 82 million €. Maybe you Qrt.S?

Wishful thinking....no, the winner lives in another town i.e. Tampere. Moreover 82 M€ is not enough. It was 87M€ :-)))).
Nonetheless, the silver standards in Latvia were earlier (1922-1940) 916 and 875 but as from 1994, after the Sovieti occupation (1940-1993) with Soviet marks and standards, they were changed to seven standards 960, 925, 916, 875, 830, 800 and 750. As from July 2008 to date to 999, 925, 830 and 800.

Glad Påsk Hjulben
