The last coin issued by the Bank of Slovakia (Národná banka Slovenska) was on May 27 and features the astronomer Maximilian Hell, which marks the 300th anniversary of his birth. It is a collectible coin with a 10 euro face minted in silver of 900 purity, and can be purchased in two qualities, Bu and Proof.
Maximilian Hell (1720-1792) was a Jesuit Catholic priest, astronomer, and mathematician. Through his scientific and pedagogical activities and publications, he became a pioneer of modern astronomy in the Habsburg Monarchy. His scientific career began in 1745 when he was invited to assist Joseph Franz at the Vienna Jesuit Observatory and began teaching astronomy at the University of Vienna.
In 1755 he was appointed Director of the Vienna Imperial Observatory and held the position until his death in 1792. In addition to his work at the Observatory and the University, he also published many works and helped establish observatories in Trnava, Kluz, Pudding and Eger.
Hell gained an international reputation with the publication of his astronomical charts Ephemerides astronomicae ad meridianum Vindobonemsem ("Ephemeris for the Vienna Meridian"), which he published from 1757 and continued to be published until 1807. Hell was a member of several scientific societies, including the British Royal Society, of which he was made a member in 1790.

The coin's obverse design depicts Father Hell as a standing astronomer observing a starry night sky through a vintage telescope. On the left edge is the Slovakia coat of arms, and in the lower center, between the figure and the telescope, are the coin denomination '10' 'EURO', one on top of the other. The issuing country's name 'SLOVENSKO' appears along the top edge of the design, followed by the issuing year '2020'. At the bottom right are the stylized letters 'KL', which refers to the designer Karol Ličko, and the mint mint mark Kremnica (Mincovňa Kremnica), consisting of the letters 'MK' placed between two dice.
The reverse shows, on the right side, Father Hell dressed for his trip to the Arctic Circle, where he observed the transit of Venus through the Sun. The transit is shown on the left side above a group of bright stars. Amidst the stars are the dates of Father Hell's birth '1720' and his death '1792', one on top of the other. The name 'MAXIMILIÁN HELL' appears along the left edge of the design.
