The Peace of Pressburg, signed on 26 December 1805 in what is now Bratislava, ended the War of the Third Coalition following Napoleon's decisive victory at Austerlitz three weeks earlier. Austria ceded Venetia to the French-controlled Kingdom of Italy, surrendered Tyrol to Bavaria, and effectively withdrew from German affairs permanently — accelerating the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire the following year. That the treaty was signed in Pressburg, the then-capital of the Kingdom of Hungary and today's Slovak capital, gives Národná banka Slovenska a legitimate commemorative claim to the event.
