The Slovakia 2015 2 euro commemorative coin honours the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ľudovít Štúr, a central figure in the 19th-century Slovak national revival. The national side features a portrait of Štúr, who served as a politician, linguist, and author, and was instrumental in codifying the modern Slovak language. His efforts provided a crucial foundation for the development of Slovak national identity during a period of significant political transformation within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The design captures his profile alongside his name and the years of his birth and death, reflecting his enduring legacy as a primary architect of the nation’s cultural and political sovereignty. This commemorative issue was produced in 2015 with a total mintage of 1,000,000 coins.
