| Additional information |
Rudolf Maister was a Slovenian general and poet who, in November 1918, staged a swift military takeover of Maribor — then a predominantly German-administered city — securing it for the newly formed State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs before any diplomatic process could settle the question. His unilateral action, taken without direct orders, effectively determined the northern border of Slovenian territory. Without it, Maribor almost certainly falls within Austria.
The 2024 issue marks the 150th anniversary of his birth.
