€10 silver collector coin
Ladislav Nádaši-Jégé – the 150th anniversary of the birth

Ladislav Nádaši-Jégé (12 February 1866 – 2 July 1940) was one of the central figures of Slovak literature in the interwar period and a leading exponent of Slovak literary naturalism. In the first phase of his writing, during the late 1880s and 1890s, he produced satirical prose works including Žart (Joke), Vada (Defect), Výhody spoločenského života (The upsides of social life), Omyl (Error), Kúra (Cure), and Pomsta (Revenge). His second phase, covering the 1920s and 1930s, was marked by a tendency towards historicism and by a gradual shift away from short stories and novellas to novels. Among the notable works from this time were Wieniawského legenda (Wieniawski's legend, 1922), Adam Šangala (1924), Kuruci (1925), Magister rytier Donč (Knight Donč the Magister, 1926), Horymír (1926), and Svätopluk (1928). Besides prose, Nádaši-Jégé wrote plays, articles on health awareness and works of literary journalism. In the novel Cesta životom (Journey through life, 1930), he returned to a more contemporary topic – the petit bourgeoisie of Slovak society from the 1890s to 1918 – through which he elaborated his pessimistic and ironic perception of the world. His later work also featured humorous prose centred on village life.

€20 silver collector coin
Historical Preservation Area of Banská Bystrica

Banská Bystrica, the regional capital of central Slovakia, lies in the Zvolen Basin below Urpín Hill in the valley of the Hron River. In 1255 King Béla IV conferred on it the rank of 'royal free town'. Over time Banská Bystrica became a leading mining town, based mainly on the mining of silver and copper. The local Thurzo-Fugger company was one of the world's major producers of copper. As the mines prospered in the 15th and 16th centuries, so the town underwent a construction boom. The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was completely renovated, the Matthias House was built, and the Town Castle site was fortified. Civic administration buildings and impressive town houses were erected. The mining industry continued to thrive in the 17th century, as is evident from the Renaissance-style alterations made to houses in the main square. In the rebuilding work that followed the great fire of 1761, Baroque elements were a prominent feature. Mining gradually declined, and the 19th century saw craft industries become increasingly important. The centre of the town contains many historical buildings and structures, and in recognition of this fact it was declared an Urban Heritage Area in 1955.

Description of the coin

Obverse:


The obverse side of the coin shows the Renaissance front façade of Benický’s House in the background with the Holy Cross Church built out of the Scribes’ Bastion which is part of the defensive system of the Banská Bystrica town castle. In the lower part of the coin, completing the composition is an ornamental element. The national coat of arms of the Slovak Republic is positioned on the left side of the coin. Along its lower edge is a circular inscription of the country designation “SLOVENSKO” and the year 2016. In the upper-right part of the coin there is the denomination “20 EURO” and in the lower-right part is the mintmark of the Kremnica Mint.

Reverse:


The reverse side of the coin depicts the most outstanding architectural monuments of Banská Bystrica – the Parish Church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary, the Clock Tower, the tower of the barbican, and St Francis Xavier’s Church, with the Baroque Marian column in the foreground. The composition is completed by the oldest known seal of Banská Bystrica, which represents the mining tradition of the town, and by an ornamental element along the edge. Also along the edge are the words “PAMIATKOVÁ REZERVÁCIA BANSKÁ BYSTRICA” (“Historical Preservation Area of Banská Bystrica”). In the lower-right part are the stylised letters “MG”, the initials of the coin’s designer Michal Gavula.

€100 gold collector coin
Bratislava coronations – the 275th anniversary of the coronation of Maria Theresa

The father of Maria Theresa, the emperor Charles VI, had no living male descendant and so he tried to ensure his daughter’s smooth accession to the throne by various agreements and treaties. This plan did not succeed. After his death in 1740 the European powers, led by Prussia, launched an attack on her inheritance and Maria Theresa became embroiled in a long fight to secure her rights. Only the Hungarian estates recognised her as her father’s successor and remained loyal to her. They strongly supported her in her wars and agreed to her coronation as Queen of Hungary. The day chosen for the coronation was 25 June 1741. The coronation ceremony took place in Bratislava (then Pressburg), which was the coronation city of the Hungarian Kingdom from 1563 to 1830. During her reign from 1740 to 1780, Maria Theresa gradually reformed practically every area of public and economic life according to Enlightenment principles. Her statesmanship, political skills and reforms earned her respect and admiration even among her opponents. She died on 29 November 1780 in Vienna.

Description of the coin

Obverse:


Placed in an oval medallion, the obverse side of the coin depicts a historical scene from Maria Theresa’s coronation parade. To the right of the medallion is the coat of arms of the Slovak Republic. The name of the issuing country ‘SLOVENSKO’ is inscribed in the upper part of the coin. In the lower part is the denomination and currency ‘100 EURO’, separated from the year ‘2016’ by a graphic mark. The Kremnica Mint mark ‘MK’ and the stylised initials of the coin designer Vladimír Pavlica ‘VP’ are placed to the left of the medallion.

Reverse:


The reverse side of the coin shows a portrait of Maria Theresa placed in an oval medallion. Along the edge are the texts ‘KORUNOVÁCIA MÁRIE TERÉZIE’ (Coronation of Maria Theresa) and ‘BRATISLAVA’, and the coronation year ‘1741’, which are separated by graphic marks.
