2019 Slovenia Copper-Nickel 2019 Slovenia Copper-Nickel 100 Years of University of Ljubljana UNC UNC

This 2 Euro commemorative coin, issued by Slovenia in 2019, celebrates the centenary of the foundation of the University of Ljubljana. Established on December 3, 1919, the University of Ljubljana quickly became a vital center for academic and cultural life in Slovenia, playing a crucial role in the development of sciences and humanities within the nation.

The coin's design prominently features a stylized representation of the University of Ljubljana's logo. The central image includes the university's facade, with the inscription "100 LET UNIVERZE V LJUBLJANI" (100 YEARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LJUBLJANA) replacing the original text within the logo's distinctive solid square. The background of the design has a subtle texture, which enhances the visual impact of the inscription and the central motif.

On the lower right side of the coin, the country of issue "SLOVENIJA" and the year "2019" are inscribed. The outer ring of the coin bears the twelve stars of the European Union, a standard feature of all Euro coins.

Struck in Uncirculated (UNC) quality, these coins were primarily released into general circulation, making them a readily available piece for collectors to acquire and appreciate the historical and educational significance they represent for Slovenia. The bi-metallic composition is standard for 2 Euro coins, with a copper-nickel outer ring and a nickel-brass plated nickel inner core.
