Additional information

Slovenia issued this coin in 1995 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Allied victory in Europe — a particularly loaded commemoration for a nation that had spent those fifty years inside Yugoslavia, where the official narrative of the war centered on Partisan resistance rather than Allied liberation. Independence in 1991 forced a reckoning with how to frame that history under a new flag, and coins like this one reflect the awkward early years of building a national commemorative program from scratch.
