| Additional information |
Široké is a small village in eastern Slovakia, and like dozens of Slovak municipalities in the post-2000 period, it joined a wave of local authorities commissioning precious-metal tokens as commemorative revenue pieces — neither legal tender nor bullion investment, but a hybrid souvenir instrument aimed at collectors of regional Slovakiana. The denomination in "Sokolov" refers to a local unit of account unique to the issuer, a naming convention borrowed loosely from the broader Slovak municipal token tradition where fictional denominations honor a local landmark, figure, or symbol.
At .986 fineness, the gold content marginally exceeds standard 23.6-karat specification.
