The Slovenian 2 euro standard circulation coin features a portrait of the national poet France Prešeren, who is widely regarded as the country's greatest literary figure. His image is accompanied by a line from the seventh stanza of his poem Zdravljica, which serves as the Slovenian national anthem. The text, written in his own handwriting, reads 'Shiv naj vsi narodi', meaning 'God's blessing on all nations'. This choice of design reflects Slovenia's deep cultural pride and its commitment to the values of peace and international cooperation. The portrait is surrounded by the twelve stars of the European Union, symbolising the nation's integration into the eurozone. This coin was issued in 2007 with a total mintage of 21,250,000 pieces.
