| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse depicts a three-quarter portrait of Brother Cyprian (Fráter Cyprián), the bearded Camaldolese lay brother and herbalist, shown in his monastic habit and holding a wicker basket filled with botanical plants and flowers, rendered in high relief. Behind him, in the upper field, a detailed schematic of a flying apparatus — evoking his legendary early aviation experiments — is shown alongside a bird in flight. To the left, the Slovak national coat of arms (double-barred cross on three hills) appears on a shield. The denomination '10 EURO' is inscribed to the upper left, with the country name 'SLOVENSKO' arching along the lower rim and the mint year '2024' placed in the lower central field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brother Cyprian, born Jozef Scheibenhof around 1724, was a Camaldolese lay brother who spent decades at the Red Monastery — Červený Kláštor — in the Pieniny region along the Dunajec River. He is remembered primarily through legend: accounts credit him with constructing primitive hang gliders from linen and willow, allegedly launching himself from the Three Crowns massif across into Polish territory as early as the 1760s. No contemporary documentation survives to confirm the flights, but the story embedded itself so deeply in Slovak and Carpathian folklore that his name became shorthand for early aviation ambition in Central Europe.
