30 years of the Slovak koruna Charles I of Anjou

Issued in 2023 to mark thirty years since the Slovak koruna was introduced following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in January 1993, this is a commemorative banknote rather than a circulating issue. The Slovak koruna itself was retired in 2009 when Slovakia adopted the euro, so the note commemorates a currency that no longer exists — an unusual position for any central bank to find itself in.

Charles I of Anjou's inclusion reflects his role in establishing a royal court at Visegrád and his broader significance to medieval Slovak territory under the Hungarian Crown. Designed by Matej Gabrís, who has worked extensively on Slovak numismatic and philatelic commissions.
