Product Description

Slovenia has issued a special 3 Euro coin with the theme of the end of the First World War. After four bloody years, on November 11, 1918, the First World War ended by the signing of the armistice. These were signed by the Ottoman Empire in October 2018, Austria-Hungary on November 4, 1918 and finally by Germany on November 11, 2018. The First World War left an indelible mark in the Northwest of Slovenia, the Posocje area and the Karst region. From May 1915 to October 1917, the scene of one of the biggest mountain conflicts in the history of mankind took place. This was the Soca (Isonzo) front, a 90-kilometer stretch along the Soca river from Rombon to the Gulf of Trieste. In memory of the Armistice on 11 November 1918, Slovenia has issued a special 3 Euro coin. The cross on the coin symbolizes the irreplaceable lives and the gradual fading of the crosses to a haze symbolizes the unimaginable and still unknown number of victims. The network of crosses symbolizes the military as well as the non-military victims. On the face of the coin is the year 2018, the country name Slovenija (Slovenia) and the value indication of 3 Euro. On the reverse of the coin is the year 1918 and the text ôkonec 1. Svetovno vojnoö (end of World War One).
