The Slovak koruna series launched in February 1993 following the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia, with Slovakia needing an entirely new coinage infrastructure essentially overnight. The National Bank of Slovakia was established only weeks before the split took effect, leaving almost no lead time for die preparation and initial striking.
Bronze-plated steel was chosen partly to deter hoarding — a persistent problem in post-communist transition economies where older silver-content coinage had been systematically stripped from circulation in preceding decades.
