2009 Slovakia 1 Euro Cent

This only the second Slovakian coin that I have and I found this one on the floor of a department store. The last coin from Slovakia I found was at the time the most common. It is not a coincident that this coin featured today is the new most common.


While 90 or 89 million may seem low for most countries but with a population of about 5.5 million that is a lot of cents that hardly get used. Like most industrial modern nations the use of small change like 1 and 2 cent coins is low. As a result these coins are dismissed and are regarded as a nuisance. 

On the front is all those typical Euro coin features like denomination, the globe, and Euro-zone map. On the reverse is Slovensko (Slovakia), the Krivan Peak in the Tatras, the coat of arms, and mint mark with initials.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Euro Cent / Slovakia
Year: 2009
Mintage: 90,744,900
Metal: Copper Plated Steel: 94.35% Steel 5.65% Copper
Value: $0.05 in Very-Fine

1994 Slovakia 10 Halierov

Have a Slovakia coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment

My one and only Slovakian coin and no coincidence it is the most common. Another one of those demonetized coins from a country that has existed then did not then existed again. 


Aluminum and the size of a U.S dime it has SLOVENSKÁ REPUBLIKA 1994 (some mark) Z on the front. On the back is 10 h and a church steeple. Lots of religious symbols on their coinage. Still the coin seems a bit plain now that they are part of the Eurozone the coins have less variety but still are heavily influenced by these older examples.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 10 Halierov / Slovakia
Year: 1994
Mintage: 89,130,000
Metal: Aluminum
Value: $0.05 in Very-Fine

Although the Slovakian coin is from the vault I did find a 2009 Canadian dime but I did find another a few months back so no need to repeat.
