The Republic of Slovenia issued a commemorative coin to mark the 600th anniversary of the coronation of Barbara of Celje.
Barbara of Cilli (1392–1451), was the spouse of Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund and as such Holy Roman Empress. She was crowned Queen of Hungary in 1408, Queen of Germany in 1414 (being the last consort to be crowned in Aachen), Holy Roman Empress in 1433 and Queen of Bohemia in 1437, shortly before her husband's death. She was actively involved in politics and economy of her times, independently administering large feudal fiefdoms and taxes, and was instrumental in creating the famous royal Order of the Dragon. She served as the regent of the Hungarian kingdom in the absence of her husband. Barbara was the daughter of Herman II, Count of Celje, and Countess Anna of Schaunberg.
