The Slovakia 2016 Presidency of the European Union 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the nation’s inaugural term holding the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union. At the centre of the national side, the design features the coat of arms of the Slovak Republic, which is prominently encircled by the name of the country and the period of the presidency. This emblem, consisting of a double cross standing on three hills, serves as a powerful symbol of Slovak identity and historical continuity. By integrating these national symbols with the European context, the coin commemorates Slovakia’s active role in shaping continental policy and its commitment to the collective goals of the European Union. This coin was issued in 2016 with a mintage of 1,000,000 pieces.
