Slovenia UNC 2018

This is the 2018 Slovenian UNC set. Slovenia introduced the Euro as its currency with effect from 1 January 2007. The Slovenian coins have a strong Slovenian national character. On the 1 cent coin a Stork is depicted. On the 2 cent coin is the headstone of Karantania. This sounds like Carinthia the southernmost province of Austria where the Slovenes have been connected with for decades. On the 5 cent coin a sower who sows 25 stars is shown. The 10 cent coin shows the Cathedral of Zobode and on the 20 cent coin are a pair of Lipizzaner horses. Depicted on the 50 cent coin is Slovenia's highest mountain, Triglav, which is almost 3 kilometres high! On the 1 Euro coin is an image of Primoz Trubar and on the 2 Euro coin is an image of the poet France Preseren with a fragment of one of his works. The number of Slovenia coins minted in 2018 is extremely low!
