The numismatic products for 2026 will be released by Banka Slovenije for sale and circulation on 17 June. Commemorative coins marking the 150th anniversary of the Ivan Cankar's birth, collector coins marking the Year of the Poet Srečko Kosovel, and sets of euro coins for 2026 will be available for sale. The online orders have been reserved, and will be available for collection at selected collection points until 1 July, while the majority of products will also be freely available for sale.
We are issuing a commemorative coin to mark the 150th anniversary of the Ivan Cankar's birth, Slovenia’s greatest writer and playwright, and one of the originators of Slovenian modernism. Collector coins are also being issued to mark the Year of the Poet Srečko Kosovel, one of the most prominent exponents of modernist poetry in Slovenia, and a central figure of 20th century Slovenian literature.
This year Banka Slovenije has again made it possible to submit advance orders for the year’s numismatic products. We have received 2,135 orders from individuals, businesses and institutions, and have reserved all of these. Reserved numismatic products can be collected between 17 June and 1 July at the selected collection point.
The majority of the numismatic products will also be freely available for sale from 17 June, as usual at the Banka Slovenije counters, and at selected branches of Deželna banka Slovenije. The selling prices of all numismatic products can be found on this link.
The orders for the proof-quality 3-euro collector coin marking the Year of the Poet Srečko Kosovel and the proof-quality set of 2026 coins matched the available quantities. These two products will be made freely available for sale (with a purchase limit of one item per customer) from 2 July should the customers with online orders fail to collect their items by the end of collection period.
There are no purchase limits on the other numismatic products.
