Beyond the history behind it, which we will learn later, the coin that I am showing you today is a visual joy, I dare say that it is one of the best coins we have seen here in the last year. It is a piece issued and minted in Slovakia by the state Mint, Mincovňa Kremnica, which portrays the violent battles for control of Great Moravia and one of its protagonists, Svätopluk II.
The design of the obverse of the coin represents two warriors of the time in combat. The Slovak coat of arms appears on the left side of the design, with the year of issue '2020' above it. Along the upper edge, mainly in the left quadrant, is the name of the issuing country 'SLOVENSKO', which is separated from the central image by a semicircular band of period ornamentation. On the lower edge is the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint (Mincovňa Kremnica), consisting of the letters 'MK' placed between two dies, and the stylized letters 'LR' in reference to the designer of the coin Roman Lugár.
On the reverse is an imaginary portrait of Svätopluk II on horseback and, in the background, a semicircular band of period ornamentation. To the right of the portrait is the coin denomination '100 EURO. Along the edge of the upper half of the design is the inscription '894 - 899 NITRIANSKE KNIEŽA', indicating the years as Prince of Nitra. Along the lower edge is the name 'SVÄTOPLUK II'.
