 2 euro | Prešern's image remains largely unknown, despite the great number of "well-known portraits". For that reason we have decided to put his handwriting on the coin, as a sure confirmation that it is authentic Prešern. We used the poet's silhouette in relief (after Dremelj's portrait) because it attests to the "poetic character" of these little-known representation in a contemporary manner. |
 1 euro | Writing was Trubar's tool: the recognizable, old, hand-made, slightly rough but nonetheless beautiful letters that shape the first printed Slovenian text. His typography forms the basis for spelling out the sentence STATI IN OBSTATI (Stand and Exist). His portrait is well known. The portrait is to be presented in relief on the coin. |
 50 cents | Slovenians have looked to Triglav in all of our fateful historical moments. Above the three-peaked mountain remains the vastness of unbounded space, containing among many others the constellation Cancer, which is the sign of the Zodiac under which Slovenia achieved its independence. The representation of Triglav is envisioned as a relief. |
 20 cents | The Lipizzaner is neither a racehorse nor a horse for war. He narcissistically shows his beauty at parades. He demonstrates his youthful and happy character with playfulness. For the coin we therefore propose two horses in a most beautiful pose: at play. |
 10 cents | Plečnik's unrealised plans for the Slovenian Parliament demonstrate the architect's vision of the nation's future independence. |
 5 cents | The "sower of seeds" is a frequent motif used by many creative artists, primarily in the area of painting. With his vehement gesture he scatters his seeds, which when they float above the earth in elliptically curving paths give the impression of planetary bodies in their orbits. This is the moment that the sower of seeds draws closest to the creator. |
 2 cents | This princely stone is the ancient symbol of the hierarchical organization of power in the Slovenian consciousness. We propose presenting a relief of its actual condition today. |
 1 cent | The stork is taken as a relief of the stork motif from the existing SIT 20 (author Janez Boljka). |
