| Additional information |
Issued to mark 2000 years since the birth of Christ, this was the highest face value coin Slovakia had produced to that point — 10,000 korun representing roughly a quarter of the average Slovak monthly wage in 2000. The denomination was purely ceremonial; no one spent these.
Slovakia's gold coinage program in the 1990s was itself a product of newly independent monetary infrastructure, the National Bank having only been established in 1993 following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. KM#52 sits near the end of that first decade of Slovak sovereign coinage.
