| Obverse lettering | 100 EURO SLOVENIJA 2022 M. JAMA |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts three slender young birch tree trunks rising vertically, symbolising the artist Matija Jama at the outset of his independent creative journey. The background is rendered in dynamic low relief with sweeping impressionistic brushstroke patterns, evoking the textured surface quality characteristic of plein-air and impressionist painting. The composition alludes to the nomadic character of Jama's artistic life and his deep connection to nature as a source of inspiration. The legend 'MATIJA JAMA' and the birth year '1872' are inscribed in the field, integrating with the organic, painterly design. |

| Additional information |
Matija Jama (1872–1947) was a central figure in Slovenian Impressionism, trained in Munich and later closely associated with the so-called "Četverica" — the group of four Slovenian painters who introduced plein-air Impressionist technique to their home country in the early twentieth century. His landscapes of the Karst region and the Soča valley remain benchmark works in Slovenian national collections.
Slovenia has issued a consistent series of collector gold pieces honoring national cultural figures, and Jama's inclusion reflects his standing in the permanent collection of the National Gallery in Ljubljana.
