World bullion coins are usually dedicated to strong national symbols and the "Eagle", which is the first coin of its kind intended for the Slovak market, is no exception. The weight of the silver coin of the Czech Mint with the year 2023 is five kilograms.

The Slovaks have waited long and patiently for the opportunity for self-determination - like a bird of prey circling in the sky above the majestic Tatra Mountains, looking for its prey. It is no wonder that Slovak poets and revivalists of the 19th century regarded the eagle as a kindred spirit and that Ľudovít Štúr himself named the cultural supplement of the Slovak National Newspaper "The Tatra Eagle". Despite the unwilling attempts of the sovereign rulers, the Slovaks preserved their culture, language and character until they finally succeeded in winning their independence. The symbol of all they achieved was once again the eagle, which has always represented strength, victory, freedom and nobility, but also resurrection and new life. The bird of prey, which represents the Christian kingdom of heaven, also refers to Slovak religious tradition.

All variants of the bullion coin received a brand new relief in 2023, however, the main idea remained the same. The reverse side is dominated by the flying golden eagle, which is the master of the Tatras, and below it rises the magnificent mountain peak Kriváň. The obverse side is then dotted with ornaments of the Čičmanský pattern, which is a unique addition to Slovak folk architecture. As the licence to issue investment coins of the Czech Mint is granted by the Pacific island of Niue, the obverse side bears its necessary elements - the national emblem, the nominal value of 400 DOLLARS (NZD) and the year of issue 2023. The elaborated relief is the work of the medal maker MgA. Martin Dašek.

The Czech Mint has extensive experience in the production of bullion coins. Since 2017, the Mint has also been minting gold and silver "Czech Lion" coins, which are popular with investors not only in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but also in Hungary, Germany, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Canada and the United States. The largest online distributor of precious metals in the world has also requested them for its offer. One of the reasons why the Czech Mint's investment coins have so quickly taken their place alongside their famous global counterparts (such as the Austrian Wiener Philharmoniker, Canadian Maple Leaf, South African Krugerrand, American Eagle, Chinese Panda or Australian Kangaroo) is their low mintage. While investment coins of foreign mints are minted in the millions, the issue limit of coins minted in the Czech Republic is calculated in hundreds or thousands. This fact increases the appreciation potential of the investment and adds a collector's dimension to it. Thanks to the artistic processing, the coins will also serve perfectly as an original and valuable gift - for graduation, for a wedding, for the birth of a child or just for fun...
