Obverse: 30 EURO Leukhup, leukhup, leukhup, leukhüp woga gmaina SLOVENIJA 2015 Reverse: PRVO SLOVENSKO TISKANO BESEDILO 1515 Stara prauda

Context

The pan-Slovenian peasant uprising began in 1515. In Vienna a leaflet was printed with a poem in German describing the rebellious peasants in Carniola and the victory over them. It also bore a Slovenian slogan and the warcry of the Slovenian rebels: “Stara prauda” (old levies) and “Leukhup, leukhup, leukhup, leukhup woga gmaina” (peasants unite), which was probably part of the rebel song. These were the first words printed in Slovenian. A copy of the leaflet is kept at the National and University Library in Ljubljana. On the 500th anniversary of the first Slovenian printed text, the Republic of Slovenia issued collector’s coins depicting a facsimile of the Slovenian text on the leaflet.
