The inner part of the coin depicts a stylised bell made up of a series of keys. This recalls the demonstration on 17 November 1989, when marching citizens shook their keyrings to make a jangling sound. This marked the beginning of the Velvet Revolution. To the bottom right of the design are the artist’s mark and the mint mark of the Slovak Mint (Mincovňa Kremnica). The design is surrounded above by the legend 17. NOVEMBER SLOBODA — DEMOKRACIA and the dates 1989–2009 and below by the name of the issuing country SLOVENSKO. The twelve stars of the European Union surround the design on the outer ring of the coin.

Many 2 Euro coins had two version: the normal one and the one with edge reversed . The first one is when, reading the sign on the edge, the national face is on the top. The another is when, reading the sign on the edge, the common face is on the top.
Euro coins incorporate high-security machine-readable characteristics. They
can be used in vending machines throughout the euro area - no matter where they
were issued.
- Sophisticated bi-metal and sandwich technologies have been incorporated
into the €1 and €2 coins.
- The material of the 10, 20 and 50 cent coins is a unique alloy (Nordic
gold), which is difficult to melt and used exclusively for coins.
Lettering around the edge of the €2 coin and the use of a unique metal
composition for the 10, 20 and 50 cent coins protects them against
counterfeiting.
