The obverse depicts a medieval cavalry battle, above which is a wooden palisade with a central watchtower. The year of issuance ‘2023’ appears on the upper left side, between the battle scene and palisade. The Slovak coat of arms is positioned in the lower right of the design, and the name of the issuing country ‘SLOVENSKO’ is inscribed along the bottom edge. To the lower left of the main image are the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint (Mincovňa Kremnica), consisting of the letters ‘MK’ placed between two dies, and the stylised letters ‘KL’, referring to the coin’s designer Karol Ličko.
