Janez Puhar was an inventor and one of the pioneers of photography, and the Republic of Slovenia is marking the 200th anniversary of his birth by issuing collector coins. The coins feature a landscape scene taken from a Puhar photograph of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, the first landscape photograph taken in Slovenia.
On the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, Slovenia is issuing collector coins as a respectful commemoration of all the victims of war that will serve to strengthen collective awareness and emphasise the values of peace, tolerance and coexistence.
