Slovakia's 1993 coinage program was an emergency exercise. When Czechoslovakia dissolved on January 1st of that year, both successor states needed functioning currency within weeks — the Slovak koruna was introduced in February 1993, barely six weeks after independence, using a hastily assembled series of designs that had to be approved, engraved, and put into production under severe time pressure.
The series ran until Slovakia adopted the euro in January 2009, making these among the shortest-lived national coinage programs in modern European history at just over fifteen years.
