Obverse
The obverse of the coin depicts the Czechoslovak flag transforming into the Slovak flag in a U-shape composition, symbolising the establishment of the Slovak Republic. Above the Slovak flag is an image of Bratislava castle. Two symbols of Czechoslovakia are depicted in the lower part of the design, linking the ends of the two flags: Charles Bridge in Prague and Kriváň Peak in Slovakia’s High Tatra Mountains. The coin’s denomination and currency ’25 EURO’ appear in two lines between the vertical flags. At the lower right side, in semi-circle, is the name of the issuing country ‘SLOVENSKO’ and the year of issuance ‘2018’.
Reverse
The reverse design symbolises Slovakia’s entry into the European Union and euro area by showing a stylised portal arching over both a map of Slovakia and a euro symbol surrounded by EU stars (some covered by the map). From the left edge to the bottom, in semi-circle, is the inscription 25 ROKOV SLOVENSKEJ REPUBLIKY (25 YEARS OF THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC). The date of the country’s establishment ‘1. 1. 1993’ appears below the map of Slovakia. Above the date are the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint (Mincovňa Kremnica), consisting of the initials ‘MK’ and the stylised letters ‘PK’, the initials of the coin’s designer, Pavel Károly.
