Comment
Universities were from their inception seen as vanguards of education and science and as exemplifying the cultural progress of nation and state. Slovakia’s first university-type institution – Comenius University in Bratislava – began operation at the end of 1919, when the Faculty of Medicine opened its doors to Slovak students. The Faculty of Law and Faculty of Philosophy were established in 1921 and the Faculty of Science in 1940. Teachers and academics from Czech institutions, in particular Charles University in Prague, together with their Slovak colleagues, played a significant role in establishing Comenius University as the leading educational institution in Slovakia. Comenius University is today an internationally recognised centre of education and research, with 13 faculties and almost 24,000 students.Interesting fact
The Comenius University in Bratislava coin was designed by Slovak artist Štefan Šlachta, who is known for his work in graphic design and illustration. The coin's design features a stylized image of the university's historic building, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The obverse side of the coin bears the Slovak national emblem and the inscription "Slovenská republika" (Slovak Republic). The coin was minted in 2019 to commemorate the university's 100th anniversary.
