## About this plate

THE CURRENT LATVIAN PLATE, "AA-1234", and the hyphen is in the instrument, not in typography.

## Separators

THE HYPHEN IS STATUTORY AND TYPE-SPECIFIC. 7. pielikums 2.3, verbatim: "A tipa numura zīmēs burti no cipariem atdalīti ar horizontālu svītru." The horizontal stroke is prescribed for the A type ONLY; the B and C blanks carry the same mark with no stroke prescribed.
