2021 slovak numismatic program

The Mincovna Kremnica (slovak Mint) has announced in the last few days the issuance of several collectors’ items to complete the program already issued for the year 2021. As announced, a box set and a medal will be issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first coinage of Czechoslovakia in 1921, shortly after its independence. Slovakia was part of the latter country from 1918 to 1938, when the latter was partitioned and the Sudetenland area, populated by 3 million ethnic Germans, was annexed by Germany.
