| Reverse description | A forward-facing bust of the young Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary, is portrayed in the centre of the field, depicted with long flowing hair and armoured shoulders in a Baroque style. He holds before him the ornate Crown of Saint Stephen, rendered in fine detail with its characteristic cross, jewels, and pendilia clearly visible. The curved legend KORUNOVÁCIA LEOPOLDA I. arcs along the upper rim, while BRATISLAVA to the left and 1655 at the lower centre commemorate the location and date of his coronation as King of Hungary. The engraver's initials MS appear in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
This coin commemorates Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor from 1658 to 1705, whose reign over the Habsburg lands included direct governance of the Kingdom of Hungary — of which Slovakia formed a significant northern portion. His long rule was dominated by the Ottoman wars and the suppression of the Thököly and Rákóczi uprisings, conflicts fought largely on Slovak soil. The National Bank issued this piece as part of its ongoing gold ducat-format series honoring rulers with documented ties to the historic Slovak territory.
