Issued to mark the fifth anniversary of Slovenian independence, declared in June 1991 following a ten-day war with Yugoslav federal forces — one of the shortest and least costly secessions in post-communist Europe. The international community, led by the European Community, formally recognized Slovenia in January 1992.
The .900 fine gold specification places this issue in a long European tradition of that alloy, though by the 1990s most sovereign gold commemoratives had migrated to .999. The choice was almost certainly a nod to historical minting convention rather than any practical metallurgical consideration.
