The Bratislava City Theater, which originally served the German and Hungarian choirs, became the seat of the Slovak National Theater in 1920. A set of two silver commemorative medals was issued to the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the professional Slovak scene.

The medals, which are based on unrealized designs of Slovak commemorative coins and which were issued by the Mint of Mincovňa Kremnica, were processed by medal makers Miroslav Rónai and academic sculptor Ivan Řehák.
