| Obverse description | The obverse features a detailed architectural rendering of Bratislava Castle, depicted prominently in the upper field atop a rocky promontory with stylized foliage in the middle ground. In the lower left of the inner circle, the Slovak national coat of arms — a shield bearing a double-armed patriarchal cross on a triple-peaked mountain — appears in relief. The mint mark of the Kremnica Mint and the engravers' initials MK, JČ, and PK are inscribed to the left of the shield, with the date of issue appearing centrally below the castle. The country name SLOVENSKO curves along the lower arc of the inner circle, and the entire central design is encircled by a ring of twelve five-pointed stars representing the European Union. |

| Additional information |
Slovakia joined the Eurozone on 1 January 2009, making it the first post-communist country to adopt the euro after EU accession without first joining ERM II for the standard two-year minimum — it completed that waiting period in just over a year and a half. The timing was deliberate: Slovak officials accelerated entry partly to insulate the economy from currency volatility following the 2008 financial crisis, a decision that proved prescient as the koruna would almost certainly have come under speculative pressure.
