Chronos (2016) - 1 oz - Silver Investment Coin

In addition to regular circulation coins, there are mints in Slovakia that produce investment coins, which are not legal tender and are intended for investors rather than coin collectors—such as this one.

This is the second issue in the Chronos series issued by the Pressburg Mint, based in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. The series features a new design every year. Initially, it consisted of “silver medals” (investment coins that are not legal tender)—the mint refers to them as “medallions.” Starting with the Chronos 2019 issue, the series continued as coins that have the status of legal tender in Tokelau.

The mint states the following about the design:

“Panta Rhei”—everything flows, and things come and go. When it comes to value, precious metals have always played a key role in the world of finance. Today, they represent at the very least a safe haven; in the past, they were the financial standard. Silver currently holds a particularly important position in the financial world, and we believe it will continue to do so for a long time to come. Now and forever.
