| Obverse description | The central field bears the large numeral '5' above the spelled denomination 'PET TOLARJEV' in two lines. The date 1993 appears above the numeral. The circular legend 'REPUBLIKA SLOVENIJA' runs along the upper periphery. Two bee devices, rendered in fine relief, flank the lower field at the nine o'clock and three o'clock positions, serving as decorative separators between the legend and the denomination inscription. |

| Additional information |
The Academia Operosorum Labacensium was founded in Ljubljana in 1693, modeled on Italian learned academies and numbering among its members the polymath Johann Weikhard von Valvasor, whose monumental work on Carniola had appeared just years before. This coin marks the tercentenary of that founding. Slovenia had declared independence only in 1991, and early commemorative issues like this one were part of a deliberate cultural program to anchor the new state's identity in pre-Habsburg intellectual heritage rather than recent Yugoslav history.
