| Obverse description | The Slovak national coat of arms — a shield bearing a double cross on a triple mountain — is displayed at centre, set against a stylized diagonal band of overlapping leaf motifs that divides the field. The legend MOR HO! (the opening words of Janko Kráľ's anti-tyranny poem, meaning 'Plague Him!') arcs along the upper rim. The inscriptions SLOVENSKÁ to the left and REPUBLIKA to the right flank the central design vertically, while the date 29.8.1944 appears in the lower left field and the denomination 200 SK in the lower right. The mint year 1994 and the engraver's mark are struck at the bottom of the field. |

| Additional information |
The Slovak National Uprising of August 1944 was one of the largest armed resistance actions in occupied Europe, involving tens of thousands of partisans and regular Slovak Army units who turned against the collaborationist Tiso regime and their German occupiers. It was suppressed within two months, with the Wehrmacht occupying central Slovakia by October. The uprising remained a politically complicated subject throughout the communist period — celebrated selectively, with inconvenient participants quietly erased from official accounts.
This commemorative was issued in the third year of Slovak independence, when the event could finally be addressed without ideological filtering from Prague.
