30th anniversary of Slovenia’s statehood (2021)
The Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia passed the Plebiscite on the Sovereignty and Independence of the Republic of Slovenia Act on 21 November 1990, on the basis of which the plebiscite on Slovenian independence was carried out on 23 December of the same year. The official declaration of the results three days later revealed that 88.5 percent of all those eligible to vote had cast ballots in favour of an independent Slovenia.
After the ceremonial session of the Slovenian Assembly on 25 June 1991, at which the Basic Constitutional Charter on the Sovereignty and Independence of the Republic of Slovenia was proclaimed, on the following day the main ceremonies were held to mark the declaration of Slovenian independence in Trg republike (Republic Square) in Ljubljana. On the very same day, the first shot fired by a soldier of the Yugoslav People’s Army rang out, heralding ten days of military conflict for an independent Slovenia. On 7 July 1991, the Brijuni Declaration was adopted on the Brijuni Islands, setting out a three-month moratorium on the implementation of Slovenian independence.
Since no new agreement was reached between Slovenia and Yugoslavia by 8 October, the international ruling on the disintegration of Yugoslavia prevailed. On that day, Slovenia introduced its own currency, the tolar, with the adoption of the Monetary Unit of the Republic of Slovenia Act. On 23 December 1991, the Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia adopted the new Slovenian Constitution.
The Republic of Slovenia is issuing collector coins to mark the 30th anniversary of Slovenia’s statehood. The main motif is centred on the silhouette of Mt. Triglav, serving as the central symbol of the Slovenian state. The longitudinal engraving in levels over the entire face of the coin represents a lasting memory of the historical foundation of events surrounding Slovenia’s independence in the individual and the nation as a whole.
