The 2016 Slovenia 2 euro commemorative coin marks the 25th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Slovenia. The design on the national side features the first line of the national anthem, 'Zive naj vsi narodi', which translates to 'Long live all nations'. This phrase is inscribed in a stylized manner, curving across the central portion of the coin face. By highlighting these words from the anthem by France Prešeren, the coin celebrates the nation's sovereignty and its enduring cultural identity. The composition serves as a tribute to the historical transition that led to the establishment of the independent state in 1991. This issue was produced for circulation in 2016 with a total mintage of 1,000,000 coins.
