About the coins: This Slovak euro coin set is a special Prestige collector edition. Slovakia officially adopted the euro on 1 January 2009, when it replaced the Slovak koruna at the fixed conversion rate of €1 = 30.1260 Slovak korunas. Important national symbols were selected for the coin designs – Kriváň Peak, Bratislava Castle and the double cross, one of the oldest symbols of Slovak statehood. The set is presented in special black Prestige packaging, which states a limited edition of 50,000 sets.
