There have been two Slovak states in modern history: the Nazi
satellite state of 1939-1945, and the modern Slovak Republic that
achieved independence in 1993. I've always liked the coin series of
the two Slovakias, and now Slovakia has moved on to the euro, of
course. I've never been keen on the format of the euro, but the Slovak
designs are quite reasonable, nevertheless - the only pity is that
there are only three designs for eight coins.
There are quite a few similarities to be seen, and connections to be
made, among the three coinages, so come and have a look at them by
