Kremnica (Slovakia)

Colleagues, today, Saturday, as a reward for the young beekeepers' competition, my grandson was on a trip to a neighboring state accompanied by his father (my younger son) in a city where coins have been minted for 700 years - Kremnica (Slovakia)

Visit to a mine - adits - where silver and gold for coins were mined.

 The grandson was also fascinated by the modern technology used underground.

They even had a commemorative coin minted there. And my grandson brought it to me and gave it to me.That's what the son coined - there's a need for strength there:

You could also mint your own coins at the Mint Museum.

Commemorative coins have arrived for my collection:

is the same on both sides

My son wanted to buy me two-euro commemorative coins from the microstates of Europe, but the numismatics store is closed on Saturdays - when there are most tourists.

Here are some photos from the Mint Museum:

So he gave me two euros in coins that he got at the restaurant.

These museums are fun. I went to see the one in Kutná Hora, very interesting, where I also hammered my own aluminum coin 😊

And during their visit to Kremnica, I hope they had a moment to visit the monument; it's probably as important for educating younger generations about their country's history.

The words on the monument belong to a poet whose work I was given as a graduation question. I recited an entire poem to the committee and left the room with a straight A - excellent in my native language.
