Slovakia 2018 25th Anniversary of the Slovak Republic
25th Anniversary of the Slovak Republic
The design symbolises Slovakia’s entry into the European Union and
the euro area by showing a stylised portal arching over both a map of Slovakia
and a euro symbol surrounded by the European Union stars, some covered by the
map. The Slovak coat of arms appears on the left of the design. At the lower
left side, in semi-circle is the name of the issuing country ‘SLOVENSKÁ
REPUBLIKA’. The date of the country’s establishment ‘1.1.1993’ and the year of
issuance ‘2018’ appear, one above the other, below the right side of the map. Between
the map and the date are the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint (Mincovňa
Kremnica), consisting of the initials ‘MK’ placed between two dies, and the
stylised letters ‘PK’, the initials of the designer, Pavel Károly. The coin’s
outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
