Notes

In marriage traditions, two people are asked a question, expecting an affirmative answer. This is a coin of an absolute affirmative. Both sides of the coin happily say "YES". The obverse and the reverse become one, like in the letter of Paul to the Ephesians – "and they two shall be one flesh". They denote one belief, one answer, one being consisting of two individuals. Both sides of the coin are like each other's reflection, and there is no way knowing which was the first, as they both are equally important. The coin with its 28 millimeter diameter is like a miniature world which begins with a word triggering action. This little word, consisting of two letters in the Latvian language, is one of the shortest and it encompasses advancement. Language and words help us shape our consciousness. Two people say "YES" to each other with confidence, and the word becomes a portal, a gateway to a new beginning. The golden answers are encircled by the edge of the coin, a golden circle – an ideal shape which is always at its beginning and on an eternal journey that never ends, just like love. When flipping a coin, the choice between two alternatives is made depending on whether the coin lands heads or tails side up. This coin changes the rules of the game, as there is no room for failure. You just have to ask the right question. YES or YES brochure
