Description:
Obverse
The obverse design captures the essence of cave formation by showing the surface of a small cave lake and ripples caused by water dripping from a stalactite. Positioned prominently in the upper and right side of the design is a depiction of the white cave-dwelling crustacean Niphargus aggtelekiensis, its shape mirroring the outer ripples. The Slovak coat of arms appears at the bottom centre, and to the left of it is the name of issuing country SLOVENSKO inscribed in semi-circle along the edge. The year of issuance 2017 is shown next to the edge. At the top of the design are the stylized letters RL, the initials of the designer, Roman Lugár, and the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint MK.
Reverse
The reverse of the coin shows a bat flying in front of the Rožňava Cavers' Dripstone in Krásnohorská Cave. The coin's denomination 100 euro appears in two lines above the bat. Along the edge of the design are inscriptions JASKYNE SLOVENSKÉHO KRASU (Caves of Slovak Karst) and SVETOVÉ PRÍRODNÉ DEDIČSTVO (World Natural Heritage).
