Veľká Fatra, a mountain range in central Slovakia, was designated a national park in 2002 — one of the last major protected areas established in the country before Slovakia's EU accession in 2004. This coin was issued as part of Slovakia's ongoing silver commemorative series dedicated to its protected natural regions, a program that began shortly after independence and has grown to cover virtually every significant landscape under national or UNESCO protection.
The .925 fineness places it among the finer silver issues in the series.
