Description

On 1 January 2007 Slovenia adopted the Euro, becoming the first of the ten member states that joined the last enlargement of the EU in 2004. The national currency, the Tolar, stopped circulating after 15 years of validity and Slovenians paid 239.64 Tolars for one Euro.

Reverse

A geographical map of Western Europe spans the outer ring and inner core on the right side of the coin. The inscription 2 EURO is superimposed over the map of Europe, with the numeral “2” located in an open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

12 stars are located on the right side of the outer ring, with six stars atop the map of Europe and six stars below it; six vertical stripes cut across the inner core of the coin, visually connecting the upper and lower star segments.

Luc Luycx, a designer at the Royal Belgian Mint, designed the Euro’s common reverse; his initials, LL, are seen on the right side of the design, just under the “O” in “EURO.”
