The date '1713', marking the year of the revolt, is inscribed among the implements. Below, the commemorative inscription 'VELIKI TOLMINSKI PUNT' (Great Tolmin Revolt) spans the lower portion of the design, referencing one of the largest peasant uprisings in Slovenian history. |

| Additional information |
The Tolmin Peasant Revolt of 1713 was one of the largest uprisings in the history of the Slovenian lands, drawing in thousands of peasants from the Tolmin and Goriška regions who had been pushed to breaking point by Habsburg tax demands following the War of the Spanish Succession. The Austrian authorities suppressed it with predictable brutality — the ringleaders were executed, with Ivan Gradnik tortured and quartered publicly as a warning. Slovenia's 3-euro collector series, issued outside the eurozone circulation framework, allowed the Bank of Slovenia to commemorate episodes of national historical significance without ECB design constraints.
