Obverse
The obverse of the coin depicts stalagmites from Domica Cave, vertical stalactites and straw stalagmites from Gombasecká Cave and, below to the right, an aragonite formation from Ochtinská Aragonite Cave. The value and grandeur of the Slovak Karst caves is symbolised by an element of church architecture – a Gothic pointed arch. The coat of arms of the Slovak Republic is shown on the right of the design. The name of the issuing country SLOVENSKO is in the lower part, and below it is the year of issuance 2017. The denomination and currency 10 EURO appears in two lines above the coat of arms.
Reverse
The reverse of the coin depicts a dripstone formation from the Krásnohorská Cave and rare fauna found in the Slovak Karst caves (springtail, niphargus and bat). The text JASKYNE SLOVENSKÉHO KRASU' (SLOVAK KARST CAVES) appears in the upper part of the design, above the text SVETOVÉ PRÍRODNÉ DEDIČSTVO (WORLD NATURAL HERITAGE). In the bottom right are the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint 'MK', and the stylised letters 'BR', the initials of the designer Branislav Ronai
