Euro of Slovenia

Catalog of Slovenian coins in euro

Slovenia is part of the European Union since May 2004, followed by the introduction of the euro in Slovenia in January 2007 replacing the previous currency, the Slovenian tolar (SIT), with an exchange rate of 1 EUR = 239.640 SIT.

Euro coins of Slovenia are the result of the work of Maja Licul, Miljenko Licul and Janez Boljka; objects depicted are:

  • 1 cent: a stork, which reflects the image present on the previous coin 20 thalers;
  • 2 cents: the Prince's Stone, which is the base of an Ionic column reversed used for coronations of the dukes and princes of Carinthia;
  • 5 cents: the sower, which recall a work of impressionist painter Ivan Grohar;
  • 10 cents: the parliament building by the Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik, a project of the late 40s ever made, with the inscription in Slovenian "Cathedral of liberty" (Katedrala svobode);
  • 20 cents: two horses, with the inscription "Lipizzaner" in Slovenian (lipicanec);
  • 50 cents: Mount Triglav under the constellation of Cancer (in memory of 25 June 1991, in which Slovenia became independent) and the inscription of the title of the patriotic song of climber Jakob Aljaž's "Oh Triglav my home" (Slovene: "Oj Triglav moj dom");
  • 1 euro: portrait of the Protestant reformer Primož Trubar, father of Slovenian literature, with the inscription "Get up and exist" (in Slovenian archaic, "inu OBSTATI States");
