| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents a stark composition of barbed wire barriers in the foreground, with the numeral '68' prominently rendered in the field behind them, evoking the repressive era of normalisation that followed the August 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. The Slovak coat of arms is positioned at the upper portion of the coin. A horizontal line divides the lower register, beneath which the denomination '10 EURO' appears, while the issuing country name 'SLOVENSKO' and the date '2018' are inscribed above the dividing line. The overall design employs a restrained, modernist aesthetic to convey historical gravity. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a stylised detail derived from Ladislav Bielik's iconic photograph 'The Bare-Chested Man', rendered in relief within the coin's field. The numeral '50' and the Slovak word 'výročie' (anniversary) appear in the design, together commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Warsaw Pact military intervention in Czechoslovakia. The inscription 'AUGUST 1968' is engraved along the upper periphery of the coin, anchoring the commemorative context. The composition balances photographic reference with typographic elements in a contemporary numismatic style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued on the fiftieth anniversary of the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968, this coin commemorates one of the most politically fraught events in Slovak collective memory. Five Warsaw Pact armies — Soviet, Polish, Hungarian, East German, and Bulgarian — crossed the border on the night of 20–21 August, ending the liberalization period known as the Prague Spring. Slovakia issued its own commemorative independently of the Czech Republic, reflecting the distinct way each successor state has chosen to narrate that shared trauma.
Dubček, the Slovak-born reformer at the center of the Prague Spring, was flown to Moscow and eventually returned — briefly — before being stripped of his party position in April 1969.
