| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the wooden churches of the Carpathian arc, several of which had been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008 — just two years before this coin's release. The timing was deliberate; Slovakia was making a sustained institutional effort during this period to elevate the international profile of its eastern highland heritage, and the national mint series became part of that campaign.
The wooden church tradition in this region dates to the 16th and 17th centuries, with distinct Greek Catholic, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox variants developing in geographic proximity but remaining architecturally separate.
