Slovenia 1 Tolar - Coat of Arms

Slovenia · 1991 · 1 Tolar

This stamp features the newly adopted coat of arms of Slovenia, centered on a plain background. The design includes a shield with a representation of Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, with two wavy lines below symbolizing the Adriatic Sea and local rivers. Three golden six-pointed stars, arranged in an inverted triangle, are positioned above the mountain.

Issued on June 26, 1991, this was the first postage stamp of the newly independent Republic of Slovenia, released just one day after its declaration of independence from Yugoslavia. It symbolizes the nation's sovereignty and new identity.
