Silver investment collector coin in the value of 10 euros for the 10th anniversary of the introduction of the euro in the Slovak Republic

The Slovak Republic adopted the euro on January 1, 2009 and became the sixteenth member country of the eurozone. The introduction of the euro completed the full integration of the country, which began in 2004 with the entry into the European Union and then in 2007 into the Schengen area. The aforementioned steps in integration have brought Slovakia and its inhabitants a number of benefits, especially the free movement of people, goods, services and capital. The euro is perceived as a stable currency, its use makes trade between countries easier and cheaper, provides an immediate overview of prices and attracts new foreign investors. At the same time, it allows residents to travel to the countries of the euro zone and to several other European countries without the need to exchange national currencies. The euro currency currently consists of seven banknotes and eight coins. Euro banknotes are the same in all countries. Euro coins have one side common and the other national with their own motifs of the individual countries of the eurozone.
