The world’s bullion coins tend to be dedicated to strong national symbols and the “Eagle“, the first of its kind to be minted for the Slovak market, is no exception. The weight of the Czech Mint’s 2024 gold coin is one half of a troy ounce.
The Slovaks have waited patiently for the opportunity for self-determination – like a bird of prey circling in the sky above the majestic Tatra Mountains, looking for its prey. It is no wonder that Slovak poets and revivalists of the 19th century regarded the eagle as a soulmate and that Ľudovít Štúr himself named the cultural supplement of the Slovak National Newspaper “Orol tatránski”. Despite the unwilling attempts of the sovereign rulers, the Slovaks preserved their culture, language and character until they finally succeeded in winning their independence. The symbol of all they achieved was once again the eagle, which has always represented strength, victory, freedom and nobility, but also resurrection and new life. The bird of prey, which represents the Christian kingdom of heaven, also refers to Slovak religious tradition.
All variants of the bullion coin received a new relief in 2024, but the main idea remained the same. The reverse side is dominated by the flying golden eagle, which is the lord of the Tatras, and the magnificent mountain peak Kriváň rises below it. As the licence to issue bullion coins of the Czech Mint is granted by the Pacific island of Niue, the obverse side bears its necessary elements – the portrait of King Charles III, the nominal value of 25 DOLLARS (NZD) and the year of issue 2024. The elaborated relief decorated with pearls is the work of the medal maker Mgr. Art. Miroslav Hric, Art. D.
