The Slovenian 2 euro standard circulation coin features a portrait of France Prešeren, the country’s most celebrated poet. His profile is positioned alongside a line from the seventh stanza of his poem 'Zdravljica', which serves as the national anthem of Slovenia. The inscription reads 'Shiv naj vsi narodi', meaning 'God's blessing on all nations', reflecting the poet's vision of peaceful coexistence and cultural pride. This design honours Prešeren’s profound influence on the development of the Slovenian language and his role in fostering national identity during the nineteenth century. The reverse side follows the standard European map design common to all euro zone members. This coin was issued in 2009.
