This is a fantasy or novelty note — Slovakia issues euro coinage as a eurozone member and has no central bank currency of its own, so there is no official Slovak banknote series for 2024. The "1 Pi / π" denomination and the Archimedes theme place this squarely in the collector novelty market, likely issued as a private commemorative. DAS Security Printing is a legitimate Slovak security printer, which lends the piece a degree of technical credibility — proper watermark substrate, clean intaglio-capable production — without making it legal tender anywhere.
Matej Gabris serving as both designer and engraver suggests a single-artist project, uncommon even in the novelty note field.
