| Additional information |
Issued as part of Slovakia's ongoing commemorative program highlighting UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this coin marks the wooden churches of the Slovak Carpathians — a group of eight Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Greek Catholic structures added to the UNESCO list in 2008, just two years before this coin's release. The churches date predominantly from the 17th and 18th centuries, built under restrictions that prohibited the use of stone or brick for non-Catholic worship in the Habsburg-controlled region.
