About this plate
THE TRADE PLATE (tirdzniecības numura zīme), and the most information-rich Latvian mark: its first character encodes the vehicle type and its last digit encodes the expiry year, so a single trade mark carries both a class and an era. The vehicle-type meanings of A-E are NOT in the annex and no decode is shipped for them, a narrow, well-located gap.
