Slovenia joined the Eurozone in January 1, 2007. In such a short time they already built a small collection of collectors' coins, with face value ranging from 3 to 100 euro. This article describes these coins ordered by issue date.
This article covers only the gold and silver issues of the euro commemorative coins (collectors' coins) of Slovenia, and some rare cases made of other metals. Please check €2 commemorative coins for the other commemorative coins or other countries' Euro gold and silver commemorative coins.
