The Euro coins from Slovenia
The Design of the national side of the Slovenian euro coins were presented to public on the 7th of October 2005. On the 1st of January 2007 Slovenia replaced its former currency Tolar by the euro. In June 2006 by the Ministers of Finance of the European Union specified the rate of exchange by 239,640 Tolar for one euro. The country now has also the right to shape approximately 230 million euro coins with a value of approx.80 million euro.
The coins sketched by Miljenko and Maja Licul as well as Janez Boljka have the signature SLOVENIJA (Slovenia) on the border interrupted by twelve stars. The coins show the following motives:
Slovenski evro kovanci so kovanci za evro, katerih eno stran je izbrala in oblikovala Slovenija. V Sloveniji bomo evro začeli uporabljati 1.januarja 2007. Predvidoma bo skovanih približno 230 milijonov kovancev v skupni vrednosti okoli 80 milijonov evrov.
Avtor podobe nacionalne strani slovenskih evrokovancev je Miljenko Licul s sodelavcema Majo Licul in Janezom Boljko.

Motive 2 ct: The Prince's Stone The 2 cent coin shows the Prince's Stone (Knežji kamen), on which the Carinthian duke installation took place.
The illustration of the Prince's Stone on the two-cent coin provided irritations with some Carinthian politicians, since in their opinion the prince stone was no historical element of the Republic of Slovenia and feared therefore the collection of their national symbol.
Od začetka leta 2007 naprej so v obtoku slovenski evrski kovanec za 2 centa s knežjim kamnom na zadnji strani.
