In 2010, Slovenia issued a €2 coin to mark the 200th anniversary of the foundation of the Ljubljana Botanical Garden, one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the region. The coin symbolises the importance of botanical research and the protection of biodiversity in Slovenia. The garden was founded in 1810 during the period of the Illyrian Provinces and remains a key site for education and research today. The coin is available in proof quality and supplied in an elegant card.
