Obverse descriptionThe right side of the obverse depicts a craftsman using a hand-crafted wooden block to pattern a fabric for blue-dyeing. On the left is the floralpatterned side of another block, and in the upper right part of the design are three fabrics being hung after dyeing. Between the craftsman and the floral pattern are the coin’s denomination ’100’ and currency ‘EURO’, one above the other. Below the craftsman is the year of issuance ‘2024’ and, to the right of it, the Slovak coat of arms. The name of the issuing country ‘SLOVENSKO’ is inscribed at the bottom of the design. In the lower left corner of the block pattern is the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint (Mincovňa Kremnica), consisting of the letters ‘MK’ placed between two dies; in the lower right corner are the stylised initials ‘KL’ of the designer, Karol Ličko.

Reverse descriptionThe reverse design is divided into two vertical halves. Inscribed on the upper left side is the Slovak word for blue-dying, ‘MODROTLAČ’, with its morphemes divided one above the other. Below it, in descending order, are the words ‘NEHMOTNÉ’, ‘KULTÚRNE’ and ‘DEDIČSTVO’, which means ‘intangible cultural heritage’ in Slovak. The right part depicts a hanging blue-dyed fabric printed with the same floral pattern that appears on the obverse design, along with additional horizonal decoration above and below the pattern.
