The Slovakia 2021 2 euro commemorative coin honours the life and legacy of Alexander Dubček, a central figure in the political history of the nation. The national side features a portrait of Dubček, who is best remembered as the leader of the 1968 Prague Spring, a period of attempted liberalisation and reform in Czechoslovakia. His efforts to introduce 'socialism with a human face' remain a significant chapter in the country's journey toward democracy and sovereignty. By commemorating his birth, Slovakia acknowledges his enduring influence on the national identity and his role in the struggle for civil liberties. This coin was issued in 2021 with a mintage of 1,000,000 pieces.
