| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 550th anniversary of Academia Istropolitana, founded in 1465 by Matthias Corvinus in Bratislava — making it the first university established on Hungarian kingdom territory. The institution lasted barely two decades; after Corvinus died in 1490, patronage collapsed and the university ceased functioning before the century ended. Slovakia claimed it as a national founding moment despite its short operational life and the complicated dynastic politics behind its creation.
