| Reverse description | A naturalistic linden leaf with stem and seed pods is depicted in high relief at the center-right of the field, symbolizing Slovenia's national tree. To the left, an elegant spiral motif occupies the field. The date '23. december, 1990' — the date of the plebiscite on Slovenian independence — curves along the upper rim in script lettering. The denomination '500' appears at the lower center, and the legend 'Samostojna Slovenija' (Independent Slovenia) runs along the right rim in cursive script. |

| Additional information |
Slovenia's December 1990 plebiscite returned a 94.8% vote in favor of independence, and the republic formally declared separation from Yugoslavia on June 25, 1991 — the same day as Croatia, a coordination that forced Belgrade into a two-front response. The Ten-Day War that followed ended with the Brioni Agreement and Yugoslav federal forces withdrawing from Slovenian territory by October.
This coin was issued the same year the state itself came into legal existence, making it among the earliest objects to carry Slovenian sovereignty in physical form.
