| Comments |
Slovenia's first sovereign currency series was issued in extraordinary haste following the ten-day war of independence in June–July 1991. The tolar replaced the Yugoslav dinar at par, and the 1000 Tolarjev was the highest denomination in that inaugural set — issued into an economy still adjusting to the shock of separation from the Yugoslav federal banking system.
Cetis in Celje, a security printer with roots going back to the eighteenth century, produced the entire series domestically. That was a deliberate political choice as much as a logistical one: Slovenia was determined to demonstrate self-sufficient state capacity from day one.
