| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a naturalistic sprig of linden (Tilia), featuring a large, detailed leaf accompanied by a smaller bract leaf and a cluster of pendant berries or seed pods rendered in fine relief. A vertical ruled line divides the right portion of the field, within which the legend 'DENARNI ZAVOD SLOVENIJE' runs vertically upward. The commemorative dates '1944' and '1994' are inscribed horizontally in two lines to the right of the dividing line, marking the 50th anniversary of the Monetary Institute of Slovenia. The botanical motif is executed with precise, naturalistic engraving against a polished proof field. |

| Additional information |
The Monetary Institute of Slovenia (Denarni zavod Slovenije) operated for less than a year — established in June 1991 immediately following independence and dissolved once the Bank of Slovenia assumed full central banking functions. It issued the tolar as a replacement for the Yugoslav dinar during a period when Slovenia had no internationally recognized monetary authority and no established foreign exchange reserves to back the transition.
This 1994 commemorative gold issue looks back at that brief institutional window, which closed in 1992.
