Reverse

The reverse is bisected by a vertical line, to the left of which is half of an inverse triangle filled with variously sized small triangles. To the right of the line are two male figures, representing Vrba and Wetzler escaping from prison. The year they wrote their report, ‘1944’, is inscribed on the upper right side. Running diagonally across the lower right quadrant are the names ‘ALFRÉD WETZLER’ and ‘RUDOLF VRBA’, one above the other. Next to them are the stylised initials ‘IŘ’, referring to the coin’s designer Ivan Řehák. The design also features raised dots representing the camp’s guard posts. Inscribed in the lower left are the coin’s denomination ‘10’ and currency ‘EURO’.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Vrba-Wetzler report, which was a document that detailed the atrocities committed at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. The coin's design features an image of the report's authors, Alfred Wetzler and Rudolf Vrba, as well as a depiction of the camp's entrance gate. The coin's silver and copper composition and 18g weight also make it a unique and valuable collector's item.
