Specification
Slovakia is a country rich in natural beauty. Despite its relatively small area, all surface reliefs, from lowlands to high mountains, can be found on its territory. Many natural formations and areas have become subjects of state protection due to their value. There are 5 national parks and several protected landscape areas in the territory.
Slovak Paradise was declared a protected landscape area in 1964 and a national park in 1988 for its unique natural beauty. The landscape relief is characterized by beautiful canyons, deep gorges, and ravines, numerous waterfalls, and a wealth of caves and abysses. There are 180 caves in the area, with Dobšinská Ice Cave being the only accessible one. The breakthrough valley of the Hornád River stands out with its extraordinary beauty. The national park, together with the protective zone, covers an area of 32,764 ha, 90% of which is forested, and it is characterized by a diversity of flora and fauna.

Obverse:
On the left side, a protected plant, the Slovak pasqueflower, is depicted, to the right of which is the nominal value, the name of the state "SLOVAK REPUBLIC", the year of minting, and the national emblem of the Slovak Republic.

Reverse:
