The elements printed on the left side of his portrait illustrate the sun and the moon, representing a part of his life which he dedicated to research and observations in the field of astronomy.

The back of the banknote shows Stefanik´s grave on Bradlo Hill. The printed design is overlapped by part of the Great Bear constellation, and the lower right and the upper parts of the design carry an illustration of a pasque – flower.
