Reverse description The reverse presents a portrait bust of Jakob Aljaž, the Slovenian priest and alpinist, facing slightly left, rendered in high relief against a background depicting the rugged rocky summit of Triglav, Slovenia's highest mountain. The curved legend 'ALJAŽEV STOLP - 1895' arcs along the upper rim, commemorating the centenary of the iron summit tower Aljaž erected atop Triglav in 1895. The overall composition balances the figurative portrait in the lower field with the mountain landscape rising dramatically behind, in a naturalistic, medallic artistic style.
