Informations supplémentaires

Historical Context: Issued in 1993, the 5 Tolarjev Academia Operosorum Labacensium coin commemorates the 300th anniversary of the Academia Operosorum Labacensium, a pivotal learned society established in Ljubljana in 1693. This coin emerged during Slovenia's formative years as an independent republic, having declared sovereignty from Yugoslavia in 1991. Its issuance underscores the nascent nation's commitment to celebrating its rich intellectual and cultural heritage, positioning the Academia as a foundational element of Slovenian enlightenment and identity.

Artistry: While the specific engraver is not commonly attributed, the coin's design reflects a contemporary academic style suitable for its commemorative purpose. The obverse features the national coat of arms of the Republic of Slovenia, denoting national sovereignty, alongside the denomination "5 TOLARJEV". The reverse masterfully depicts the intricate seal of the Academia Operosorum Labacensium, including its Latin motto "NON OMNIBUS UNUM" (Not for all the same), symbolizing the society's exclusive and scholarly nature.

Technical/Grading: Struck in nickel brass (78% Copper, 20% Zinc, 2% Nickel), this 6.4-gram, 26-millimeter coin typically exhibits good strike quality. Key high-points for grading include the fine details of the Slovenian coat of arms on the obverse, particularly the Triglav mountain and stars. On the reverse, the intricate elements of the Academia's seal and the crispness of the motto "NON OMNIBUS UNUM" are crucial. Strong strikes will reveal full detail in these areas, preserving original luster and minimizing planchet imperfections.
