The words “TRAITÉ DE L’ÉLYSÉE” and “ÉLYSÉE-VERTRAG” are centred along the top and bottom edge, respectively, of the inner part of the coin.

Issuance year - 2013, February 800th anniversary of visits to Postojna Cave

5 commemorative coins were sent to me by Jose, from Murcia, in our last swap, last march, in exchange for several portuguese commemorative coins. Depicted in the image are 2 very original slovenian 2013 commemorative coins and 3 others.

The central image of the coin is a stylised spiral, which at the left side of the coin begins with inscription ‘POSTOJNSKA JAMA • 1213–2013 • SLOVENIJA’ and ends with two stylised speleothems.
