Republic of Slovenia Commemorative Coins

Having joined the European Monetary Union and introduced the euro, Slovenia has now changed the way in which it issues occasional coins and other special coins. In line with EU legislation, these coin issues are now divided into commemorative coins and collector coins.
 

Commemorative coins are identical to the general circulation €2 coin in terms of dimensions and in terms of physical and chemical properties. They have a common European side, and a national side with a motif marking an event of wider international significance or of major significance to Slovenia. Pursuant to the Law on occasional coins, Slovenia may issue commemorative coins to mark a single event each year. Commemorative coins are legal tender in all Member States of the eurozone.
