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 gold coin of the year 2023, which boasts top-quality proof, is one 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”.
