| Reverse description | The reverse presents a formal portrait bust of Charles III (Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI) facing slightly to the left, dressed in elaborate baroque court attire with a lace cravat and voluminous wig, rendered in high relief. To the lower right of the portrait, a detailed depiction of the Hungarian royal crown and a segment of Bratislava Castle are visible, referencing the location and regalia of the coronation. The legend 'KORUNOVÁCIA KAROLA III.' arcs across the upper field, with 'BRATISLAVA 1712' inscribed in the lower field, commemorating the year and place of the coronation. The design reflects the refined engraving style characteristic of Slovak commemorative gold issues. The finely granulated background field enhances the contrast and visual impact of the central motifs. |

| Additional information |
Charles III of Hungary — better known outside Central Europe as Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor — ruled Slovakia's territory as part of the Habsburg hereditary lands and issued the Pragmatic Sanction of 1713 from Vienna, a document that would reshape succession across the entire Habsburg monarchy for generations. Slovakia's commemoration of him in 2012 sits within a broader National Bank series honoring figures whose political decisions directly shaped the territory now called Slovakia, even when those decisions were made far from it.
The issue had a mintage of 3,900 pieces.
