2 euro commemorative dedicated to the 150° Anniversary of the birth of Ivan Cankar
UNC
Ivan Cankar (1876–1918) is considered the most important Slovenian writer and playwright. Born in Vrhnika, his works address social, moral, and national themes, describing the lives of ordinary people and the difficulties of contemporary society. He remains a central figure in Slovenian culture today.
The coin features his face, which appears in a sculpture located at the Cankar Centre in Ljubljana and created by Slavko Tihec in 1982. With a modern shape reminiscent of an open book, when viewed from afar, it reveals the writer's face.
