| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a panoramic view of the Komárno Fortress as seen from the river, with its massive stone ramparts and church towers rendered in fine relief against a satin field. In the foreground, two historical river galleys with masts, oars, and canopied decks navigate the waters of the Danube, evoking the fortress's role as a key military and riverine stronghold. The Slovak national coat of arms — a double cross on a triple hill — appears in the lower right field. The denomination '500 Sk' is inscribed across the upper portion of the coin, with the legend 'SLOVENSKÁ REPUBLIKA' curved along the lower periphery and the date '2007' positioned to the right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed bird's-eye aerial view of the star-shaped Komárno Fortress complex in its 16th-century configuration, its angular bastions and inner citadel rendered with architectural precision. The date '1557', marking the founding year of the fortress, appears prominently in the central lower field between the outer defensive works. Below the fortress plan, a dynamic battle scene in lower relief depicts mounted cavalry and infantry in close combat, referencing the fortress's role in the anti-Ottoman wars. The curved legend 'PEVNOSŤ KOMÁRNO' arcs across the upper periphery of the field. The mint master's mark and mintmark of Mincovňa Kremnica appear in the lower left area of the design. |
