| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centennial of the modern Olympic Games, revived by Pierre de Coubertin and inaugurated in Athens in 1896. Slovenia participated in Atlanta 1996 as an independent nation for only the fourth time — the country had declared independence in 1991 after a ten-day war with Yugoslavia. The Slovenian Olympic Committee was recognized by the IOC in 1992.
The .900 fineness places this coin within a Slovenian commemorative gold series that drew heavily on Austrian minting traditions inherited from the Habsburg period.
