Slovakia 2009 – 2 euro Freedom and Democracy UNC

 2 euro commemorative

Slovakia 2009: 20th anniversary of the day of the fight for freedom and democracy (17 November 1989)

The coin shows a stylised bell with keys serving as clappers. It recalls the demonstration on 17 November 1989 when protesters jangled their keys to symbolise the unlocking of doors, an event which marked the beginning of the ‘Velvet Revolution’ in Czechoslovakia, as it then was.

Under the bell are the artist’s mark and the mint mark of Mincovňa Kremnica (the Slovak mint). Encircling the bell are the legend ‘17. NOVEMBER SLOBODA DEMOKRACIA’, the dates ‘1989-2009’ and the name of the issuing country, ‘SLOVENSKO’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European Union.
