Obverse

Depicts Kriváň, a notable peak of the Tatra mountains. Kriváň symbolises Slovakia's sovereignty. Below is the country name, the year and the coat of arms of Slovakia with the Kremnican Mint markmark "MK" on the left and engraver's initial "Z" on the right. The outer ring contains the twelve stars of the European Union.

The coat of arms of Slovakia consists of a shield, in early Gothic style, charged with a double cross standing on the middle peak of a mountain consisting of three peaks. Extremities of the cross are amplified, and its ends are concaved. The double cross is a symbol of its Christian faith and the hills represent three symbolic mountain ranges: Tatra, Fatra (made up of the Veľká Fatra and Malá Fatra ranges), and Mátra (the last one is in northern Hungary).

Engraver: Drahomír Zobek
