The Slovakian 2 euro standard circulation coin features the national emblem of the Slovak Republic, which depicts a double cross standing on the central peak of a stylised three-peaked mountain range. This heraldic design draws upon the historical roots of the Slovak nation, with the double cross representing a significant symbol of the country’s heritage and the mountains symbolising the Tatras, Fatra, and Matra ranges. Encircling the emblem are the twelve stars of the European Union, integrated with the year of issuance and the country name, Slovakia. This design serves as a permanent emblem of national identity on the common European currency. The coin was issued in 2014.
