Slovakia is divided into districts, but in the past - in the years of Hungarian rule from 1884 to 1918 – there were the territorial-administrative units, the so-called county. One of them was the Nyitra County, which is commemorated by a gold commemorative medal.

The author of the mini-mintage minted by the Slovak Mint Mincovňa Kremnica is the medal maker Mgr. art. Martin Sabol. The relief presents the coat of arms of the county and its dominant feature - the Nitra Castle.
