Subject of the commemorative coin:
 1150th Anniversary of the Byzantine Mission of St. Cyril and Methodius in Great Moravia

 Description of the design:
 The coin features the Thessalonian brothers Constantine and Methodius, together with the symbolic double cross standing on three hills. The cross is simultaneously held like a bishop’s crosier, creating a link between the symbols of statehood and Christianity, and also emphasising the significance of the brothers’ mission, which helped secure the full sovereignty and legitimacy of Great Moravia – the first Slavic state in Central Europe. The figure of Constantine holds a book, representing education and faith, while Methodius is depicted with a church, symbolising faith and institutional Christianity. Along the bottom of the inner part of the coin are the name of the issuing country ‘SLOVENSKO’, the year ‘863’ and the year ‘2013’, separated by a separator mark. Along the top of the inner part are the names ‘KONŠTANTÍN’ and ‘METOD’. To the left of both brothers are the stylised letters “mh”, the initials of Miroslav Hric, the designer of the coin, and to the right is the mark of the Kremnica Mint, which consists of the letters “MK” between two dies. The twelve stars of the European flag are depicted along the outer ring of the coin.
