2 euro coin honoring the 150th birthday of the architect Jože Plečnik.

Jože Plečnik (1872–1957) was a Slovene architect who had a major impact on the modern architecture of Vienna, Prague and of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, most notably by designing the iconic Triple Bridge and the Slovene National and University Library building, as well as the embankments along the Ljubljanica River, the Ljubljana Central Market buildings, the Ljubljana cemetery, parks, plazas etc. His architectural imprint on Ljubljana has been compared to the impact Antoni Gaudí had on Barcelona.

The obverse design is the large reading room window in the National and University Library in Ljubljana, with a column in front of it. The composition of signs A R H. P L E Č N I K is built into the window space and is a metaphor for the architect’s signature.

The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag.
