Slovenia

Slovenia, officially the Republic of Slovenia, is a country in Central Europe. Slovenia was in the beginning of 2007 the first new member to introduce the euro as its currency, replacing the tolar. The 2€ coin shows the poet France Prešeren and the inscription "Shivé naj vsi naródi" (God’s blessing on all nations) − a line taken from his poem "Zdravljica" which is also used in the country’s national anthem.
