TOLAR: COIN OF SLOVENIA
2 tolar, 1993: Republic of Slovenia

The numerical designation of the value (big "2") is indicated inside a relief concentric circle.

Mintage: 10.015.000.
The coin was issued at two mints — in neighboring Hungary (Budapest Mint) and in Slovakia (Kremnica Mint). Mint marks were not indicated on the coins of this series, so it is impossible to accurately determine whether a particular coin belongs to a specific mint, with the exception of the issues of 1994 and 1995 (perhaps others, there is no information). Coins dated in the mentioned years have differences in the writing of the numbers 4 and 5 — depending on the mint.
