Product Description
4 May 2019 is exactly 100 years since that Milan Rastislav Stefanik died. He died in a plane attack. He will have been shot down by accident because the Italian flag bears the same colours as the Hungarian flag, the Hungarians and Czechoslovakia were enemies of each other. Yet many people think that this was a political murder. Milan Rastislav Stefanik was a Slovak fighter pilot who also flew for the French Air Force. He was even the first Minister of War of Czechoslovakia. In addition to the fact that Milan Rastislav Stefanik meant a lot to the army, he was also a meteorologist and mathematician, and he knew a lot about physics. On this coloured 2 Euro coin Milan Rastislav Stefanik is portrayed looking to the left. He is wearing a uniform with a luxury version of a 'Casque Adrian' cap.

The year of issue, 2019, is also shown with the mint mark of the Slovak bank underneath. This coloured 2 Euro coin is packed in a coin capsule.
