The New Year Coin 2024 is a special coin for a very special year. With 366 days instead of the usual 365, 2024 is a leap year and this limited-mintage coin is designed to remind you that the extra day should be enjoyed amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The extra day in a leap year keeps the calendar year synchronised with the solar year and thus with the cosmic order. You should accept it as a heavenly gift and treat it as an extra portion of luck. The extra day is a day with great potential on which you can allow yourself a little more ‘me time’, dedicate more time than usual to someone else, or do something you have always wanted to do. Or if you have resolved to tackle something completely new by the end of the year, why not use the extra day for that? Everyday life tends to demand a great deal from us without making any concessions, but that is not the case in 2024 when we are given a whole extra day to enjoy.
The reverse of the nine-sided coin is dedicated to the Gregorian calendar, which was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to bring the calendar back into line with the solar year. Pope Gregory XIII features on the right edge of the coin next to a large, flame-haired human manifestation of the Sun. Below the Sun is the calendar page for the month of February showing the 29th of February – the extra day. At the top is the zodiac sign Pisces, which corresponds to late February. The coin’s obverse shows the coats of arms of the nine provinces of Austria.

The wheel of the zodiac signs is engraved on the coin's gold-colored crown. One sign stands out from the background because it is larger than the others and has a sandblasted background, different from the smoother one of the others. It is the Gemini symbol. In reference to the sign's element, air, part of the wheel is hidden by spirals of mist. In the middle of these, twins, a man and a woman, are intertwined. Behind them, the sun and a quarter-moon stand out against a starry sky featuring the Gemini constellation.

The Danube salmon or huchen (Hucho hucho) is endemic to the Danube basin and is the only native salmonid species in Slovakia. This predatory fish, the largest European salmonid, can grow up to around 150 cm in length, weigh more than 50 kg, and have a lifespan exceeding 15 years. Its body is torpedo-shaped, with a large head and a terminal mouth extending beyond the back edge of the eye. An adipose fin is located between the caudal and dorsal fins. Coloration ranges from grey-green to reddish-brown, with dark spots. Juveniles are lighter in colour with dark stripes along the sides of the body. The Danube salmon inhabits fast-flowing submontane rivers with cold, well-oxygenated water. When young, it feeds on invertebrates and smaller fish; as an adult, its diet consists mostly of fish. Spawning occurs between March and April, following upstream migration. The female uses her tail to make a shallow depression (redd) in the gravel riverbed, where the eggs are laid and fertilised. Juveniles remain in shallower currents or smaller tributaries, while older individuals occupy deeper river sections. In Slovakia, the Danube salmon occurs in the foothill reaches of the Hron, Váh, Turiec, and Orava rivers, as well as in the Danube River itself, and has been introduced into the Poprad and the Dunajec rivers.
The Danube salmon is an endangered species of European conservation importance. It is threatened primarily by river impoundment and resulting migration barriers, as well as by water pollution and other environmental changes. Fishing is permitted only under strict conditions and requires a special licence.
Obverse:
The obverse depicts a Danube salmon in its natural habitat, preying on a smaller fish just below the river surface. The scene is complemented by aquatic plants and a pebbled riverbed. Above the waterline is the name of the issuing country ‘SLOVAKIA’ and the year of issuance ‘2025’. At the top of the field is the Slovak coat of arms, positioned between the coin’s denomination ‘5’ and currency ‘EURO’. At the right edge is the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint (Mincovňa Kremnica), consisting of the letters ‘MK’ between two dies.
Reverse:
The reverse design is divided in half by the surface of a river, with a mountain landscape above and two Danube salmon below. On the right side of the water’s surface is the species’ scientific name ‘HUCHO HUCHO’, and below it, across the width of the field, is the Slovak name ‘HLAVÁTKA PODUNAJSKÁ’. The fish are shown swimming above a pebbled riverbed with aquatic plants on the left. At the right edge are the stylised initials ‘TL’ of the coin’s designer, Tomáš Lamač.
