Issued to mark the centenary of Plečnik's return to Ljubljana in 1921, when he accepted a teaching post at the newly founded University of Ljubljana and began the transformation of the city that would occupy him for the next three decades. The Austro-Hungarian empire had collapsed, Slovenia was now part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and a young capital needed an identity. Plečnik, trained under Otto Wagner in Vienna, provided it.
He never received the Pritzker Prize — he died in 1957, four years before it existed — but was posthumously awarded it in 2020, the first such posthumous recognition in the prize's history.
