Description:
Obverse
The obverse side depicts the ground plan of a Great Moravian church in Devín, and within this plan are various letters of the Glagolitic alphabet, the first Slavonic alphabet. Along the edge of the design are decorative elements composed of beads. To the lower left is the coat of arms of the Slovak Republic.
To the right of the ground plan are the stylized initials "RL", standing for the name of the designer, Roman Lugár, and the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint.
Reverse
On the reverse side is an imagined portrait of Rastislav juxtaposed with a cross from the Great Moravian period (found at an archaeological excavation in Mikulčice). Around most of the edge are two lines of beading.
The years of Rastislav's reign, "846–870", appear along the lower edge.
