Reverse description The reverse mirrors the obverse composition in reverse orientation: the right half of the field carries the commemorative inscriptions '1918', 'konec', '1. svetovne', and 'vojne' in a bold, upright typeface, while the left half is filled with the same repeated pattern of small stylised cross motifs arranged in a dense grid, symbolising the countless graves of fallen soldiers. The deliberate visual continuity between obverse and reverse creates a unified artistic statement when both sides are viewed together. The overall design is austere and modernist, conveying the gravity and human cost of the Great War.

Additional information

Slovenia's commemorative program for the WWI centenary is notable for what it doesn't celebrate: there is no Slovenian victory here. The lands that became Slovenia were part of Austria-Hungary throughout the conflict, and Slovenian soldiers fought and died overwhelmingly in Habsburg uniform — on the Isonzo front, in Galicia, in the Balkans. The armistice of November 1918 dissolved the empire that had conscripted them, delivering these territories into the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes within days.

KM#136 had a mintage of 3,000 pieces.
