Crosses, Castles and Mountains

The 8 (x3) slovakian beauties, depicted in the image are the result of my last exchange, this time from a Slovakian collector, Michal. Thanks.

On January 1, 2009, The Slovak Republic, also known as Slovakia, became the newest nation to join the Euro. The 1 and 2 € coins depict a double cross on three hills, as featured in the national emblem of Slovakia. The 10, 20 and 50 centimes coins show Bratislava castle and the national emblem of Slovakia. The 1, 2 and 5 cent coins feature the Tatra Mountains’ peak, Kriváň, a symbol of the sovereignty of the Slovak nation, and the national emblem of Slovakia.
