200 Sk Silver Coin
Stefan Moyzes (24.10.1797 – 5.7.1869) was an important figure in Slovak national and cultural life in the second half of the 19th century. He was Bishop of Banska Bystrica, the first chairman of Matica slovenska and an advocate of Pan-Slavism. His personal intervention with the Monarch Francis Joseph I contributed to the establishment of the national cultural institution – Matica slovenska in 1863. He played an important role in the development of national academic life and education, including the development of Slovak gymnasia in Banska Bystrica and three other places. He also played a significant role in Croatian national life. He was a member of the first Croatian provincial government and a pioneer of Croatian journalism.
