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 profile is positioned on the left side of the inner circle, accompanied by the opening line of the seventh stanza of his poem 'Zdravljica', which serves as the Slovenian national anthem. The inscription 'Shivé naj vsi naródi' translates to 'God's blessing on all nations', reflecting the poet's vision of peaceful coexistence and cultural pride. This design honours the historical significance of Prešeren in shaping the Slovenian language and national identity during the nineteenth century. The coin was issued in 2008.
