Obverse: The obverse features a contemporary composition of geometric shapes inspired by the constructivist works of Srečko Kosovel. Fragmented words and letters form the inscription KONS, a reference to his famous constructivist poems. The minimalist design reflects Kosovel's innovative artistic language, in which poetry merges with visual composition.
Reverse: The reverse continues the same constructivist artistic concept. Geometric forms and typographic elements create an abstract composition featuring the inscriptions SLOVENIJA, EURO 3 and the year of issue 2026. The design reflects the aesthetics of modernism and Kosovel's experimental approach to literature and art.
About the coin: This commemorative €3 coin honours the distinguished Slovenian poet Srečko Kosovel. He is regarded as one of the leading representatives of Slovenian modernism, whose work had a profound influence on 20th-century Slovenian literature. Although he died at only 22 years of age, he left behind a remarkable literary legacy. His constructivist KONS poems are especially significant, combining poetry, philosophy and visual expression in an innovative way. The coin's design captures Kosovel's experimental spirit and his lasting importance to Slovenian culture.
