Bronze pendant featuring the coat of arms of the Slovak Republic.
The double cross has its roots in the Byzantine Christian tradition and became part of Hungarian heraldry in the Middle Ages. It gradually became established as a symbol of Slovak territory alongside the three hills, which are traditionally interpreted as the Tatra, Fatra and Mátra mountain ranges. This association is primarily a historical symbolic interpretation rather than an exact geographical depiction.
The Slovak coat of arms was part of Czechoslovakia's state symbolism from its establishment in 1918. It was restored in its current form in 1990 and has been the coat of arms of the independent Slovak Republic since 1 January 1993.
The bronze pendant is intended for anyone with a connection to Slovakia, its history and traditions. It also makes a lovely gift for Slovaks living abroad, for example in the Czech Republic, the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany or Australia.
