This silver commemorative coin is dedicated to the Dunajské Luhy Protected Landscape Area.

The Danube Floodplains (Slovak: Dunajské luhy) are an extensive and valuable floodplain wetland ecosystem closely linked with the Gabčíkovo waterworks on the Slovak–Hungarian border. They encompass the Danube inland delta, a geomorphological rarity in central Europe. The area’s floodplain and wetland biotopes result from the dynamics of surface and groundwater flows, where the powerful action of the Danube River has preserved the landscape’s original characteristic features. These ecosystems provide a rare and indispensable habitat for many plant and animal species. This distinctive landscape is an exceptional example of the interaction between humans and nature. Today, it requires not only protection but also active stewardship, including targeted water management and forestry measures to improve conditions for the flora and fauna of the fragile ecosystems.

To preserve and enhance its outstanding natural heritage, the area was designated as the Dunajské luhy Protected Landscape Area on 1 May 1998.

The proof coin comes delivered in a coin case, and includes a certificate of authenticity. The BU coin is delivered encapsulated only.
