Obverse description	The obverse depicts a horizontal strip of film in reference to the film and television work of Jozef Kroner. In the middle of the design, overlying the strip’s central frame, is a representation of Tóno Brtko, the character played by Kroner in the film The Shop on Main Street (Slovak: Obchod na korze). The left side of the strip is mostly covered by a stylised comedy and tragedy mask, stage boards and a theatre curtain, referencing the fact that Kroner spent much of his professional life in the theatre. In the right-hand frame is the Slovak coat of arms and, directly above it, the year of issuance ‘2024’. Below 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 initials ‘TL’, referring to the coin’s designer Tomáš Lamač. Inscribed in the upper part of the design is the name of the issuing country ‘SLOVENSKO’, and in the lower part are the denomination and currency ‘10 EURO’.
