The Year Set consists of: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cent coins and 1, 2 euros commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Start of the Velvet Revolution (unc).
Slovak euro coins feature three different designs. The coins in a nominal value of 2 euro and 1 euro depict the "Double Cross in the middle of Three Hills" designed by Ivan Rehak. The coins with a nominal value of 50, 20 and 10 euro cents depict the Bratislava Castle designed by Jan Cernaj and Pavol Karoly and coins in a nominal value of 5, 2 and 1 euro cents depict the artistic design of Krivan designed by Drahomir Zobek.
The 2 euro coin depicts a stylised bell made up of a series of keys. This recalls the demonstration on 17 November 1989, when marching citizens shook their keyrings to make a jangling sound. This marked the beginning of the Velvet Revolution. |
