10 Euro of Slovakia 2019 Proof - 10 Years of the Introduction of the Euro

The obverse depicts an incuse map of Slovakia framed within a euro symbol. Above the map is the date of the introduction of the euro in Slovakia ‘1. 1. 2009’. Around the euro symbol is the circular inscription ‘ZAVEDENIE EURA V SLOVENSKEJ REPUBLIKE’ (‘Introduction of the euro in the Slovak Republic’).

The reverse shows details from the national sides of Slovak circulation euro coins, including all three motifs: the double cross on three hills, Bratislava Castle, and Kriváň peak. On the left side there is the Slovak coat of arms, and on the right side, in semicircle, the name of the issuing country ‘SLOVENSKO’. The denomination and name of the currency ’10 EURO’ appear in the lower part of the design, above the year of issuance ‘2019’. On the left, above the coat of arms, are the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint (Mincovňa Kremnica) – consisting of the letters ‘MK’ placed between two dies – and the stylised letters ‘ZF’, the initials of the designer, Zbyněk Fojtů.
