In the 2017 it is the 550th anniversary of the founding of the university. To commemorate this Slovakia has issued a special 2 Euro coin. On the coin there are a number of sitting figures û a teacher with two students. These are coloured in the shades of the clothes of the past. In the background is the original building (coloured) of the University of Istropolitana. This university no longer exists. On the top left of the coin is a Gold Medallion with the image of King Matthias Curvinus. In addition the text Univerzita Istropolitana and the year 1467 are printed in typical Slovak colours.
