On the right side is a large circular inset depicting Alois Král in the process of discovering the cave – crawling down into it via a dry ponor of the Demänovka Stream. This image also includes a carbide lamp emitting rays of light and, at the bottom, the year ‘1921’ in which the cave was discovered. On the left, the larger part of the design depicts the cave’s dripstone formations together with lakes and other structures. At the base is the year ‘2021’. The inscription ‘DEMÄNOVSKÁ JASKYŇA SLOBODY’ (Demänovská Cave of Liberty) runs along the edge from the centre left to the lower right quadrant. At the edge of a lake on the lower left side are the stylised letters ‘MP’, referring to the coin’s designer Mária Poldaufová, and the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint (Mincovňa Kremnica), consisting of the letters ‘MK’ placed between two dies.
