Cook Islands issued this special coin with an authentic pearl inlaid. Jan Matejko, the most popular creator of romantic visions of Polish history, declared, "Art is a weapon of sorts; one ought not to separate art from the love of one's homeland." This beautiful coin is the second of the series "Old Masters of Europe" and is dedicated to his masterpiece, featured by a real inlaid pearl. The coin obverse depicts his famous painting Wernyhora, with a pearl representing the sun. The reverse depicts Queen Elizabeth II’s profile. Jan Matejko was born in 1838, in Kraków. He was a Polish painter known for paintings of notable historical Polish political and military events. His most famous works include oil on canvas paintings of numerous battles and court scenes, and a gallery of Polish kings. He is counted among the most famous Polish painters. Almost everyone in Poland is, in a sense, brought up on Matejko's large historical paintings. Disseminated in thousands of reproductions, they have for generations, helped the young and some not so young visualize salient events in the history of the nation. To understand the genesis of such historical paintings it should be recalled that at the time in the 19th century when Matejko created these canvases, the Polish lands were partitioned between Russia and Prussia, which morphed into Germany and Austria. In the lands occupied by Russia and Germany, strenuous efforts were made by the occupying powers to stamp out Polish culture. The use of the Polish language was forbidden in schools and to hinder transmission of knowledge about the country's proud history, censorship existed that effectively banned publication of textbooks and the like that dealt with the subject. In these circumstances, historical paintings which could be used as a way of transmitting such knowledge assumed an importance and relevance otherwise seldom accorded to them. Matejko, a fervent Polish patriot, devoted much of his talent to this cause.

The Cook Islands issued this special coin with an authentic inlaid pearl. Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch Baroque painter who specialized in exquisite, domestic interior scenes of ordinary life. Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, using bright colors, sometimes expensive pigments, with a preference for cornflower blue and yellow. He is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work. This beautiful coin is the first of the series "Old Masters of Europe" and is dedicated to his masterpiece. The obverse depicts Queen Elizabeth II’s profile. The painting “Girl with a Pearl Earring” (Dutch: Het Meisje met de Parel) is one of Vermeer's masterpieces and as the name implies, uses a pearl earring for a focal point. The painting is currently housed at The Mauritshuis in The Hague. It is sometimes referred to as "the Dutch Mona Lisa.”

Communist Yugoslavia was formed by Marshall Tito in 1945.

Although the federation held together for 10 years after Tito's death in 1980, it fell apart rapidly after Slovenia's declaration of independence on June 25, 1991.

First issued on January 3, this issue marks Slovenia's recent presidency of the European Union. It is the first Slovenian commemorative coin and also the first euro coin with a €3 denomination.

The EU Council Presidency of Member States was instituted by the Treaty establishing the European Community (the Treaty of Rome of 1957), which provides that Member States alternatively assume the function of president of the Council of Ministers for a period of six months.

In December 2004, the Council of the European Union decided that Slovenia would preside over the EU Council from January 1 to June 30, 2008. The presidency of the EU Council is an important political honor for Slovenia. In 2007, it became the first new Member State to adopt the euro, a process which proved to be fast and efficient. Slovenia will also be the first new Member State to serve as president. The presidency is confirmation that Slovenia is a country that Europe trusts and treats as a stable political institution capable of responsibly representing Europe on the international stage.

To mark Slovenia's presidency of the European Union, the Republic of Slovenia has issued collector coins with a "dynamic" EU star in the form of a windmill on the front side. The star represents Slovenia's initiative, movement, energy, volition, strength and active role during the EU presidency. Furthermore, the inscription on the coin "Facta loquuntur" (work speaks), indicates that the EU presidency will be geared to results and success. On the reverse, 27 dynamic stars represent the 27 EU Member States.

Como forma de promover a numismática portuguesa e os valores históricos, culturais e civilizacionais de Portugal, tanto no plano nacional como internacional, a INCM tem vindo a cunhar uma série de moedas integrantes da colecção denominada «Tesouros numismáticos portugueses». Esta colecção é composta por cinco moedas alusivas a alguns dos exemplares mais relevantes da numismática e da história portuguesas — quer pelo seu significado, quer pela sua raridade, das quais é parte integrante o Justo de D. João II.
Filho de D. Afonso V, subiu ao trono em 1481, sendo certo que exercia já há alguns anos o poder de facto. Com efeito, as frequentes ausências do reino, por parte de D. Afonso V, põem-lhe nas mãos o governo do país.

Desde 1474 que dirigia a política atlântica, devendo-se à sua visão de governante, apesar de não ter ainda vinte anos, a instituição do mare clausum, princípio que estabelecia que o domínio dos mares estava ligado ao seu descobrimento. Na linha dessa política surge o tratado de Toledo de 1480, em que D. João II aceitando a partilha das terras do Atlântico pelo paralelo das Canárias, afasta a concorrência da Espanha em África e protege a mais tarde chamada rota do Cabo. Durante o seu reinado toda a costa ocidental da África foi navegada, dobrou-se o Cabo da Boa Esperança e preparou-se por terra com as viagens de Pêro da Covilhã e Afonso de Paiva, a viagem de Vasco da Gama à índia, a que o monarca já não assistiria. Em 1494, assina-se o tratado de Tordesilhas, dividindo-se a terra em duas zonas de influência, a atribuir a Portugal e à Espanha. Dentro da zona de influência portuguesa ficava o Brasil, o que permite supor que o monarca tinha conhecimento da existência dessas terras.

No plano interno, a acção de João II orientou-se no sentido da centralização e fortalecimento do poder real, tendo reprimido duramente as conjuras dos nobres e abatido o poder das grandes casas do reino. De 1481 a 1485, são mortos ou presos D. Fernando, duque de Bragança, D. Diogo, duque de Viseu, D. Gutierres Coutinho, D. Pedro de Ataíde, Isaac Abravanel, D. Afonso, conde de Faro, D. Fernão da Silveira, Diogo Lourenço, Afonso Vaz, D. Álvaro, filho do duque de Bragança, Aires Pinto, bacharel João Afonso e José Abravanel. Tinha em grande conta a opinião dos povos, mas o seu conceito da autoridade real leva-o a só reunir cortes quatro vezes, durante o seu reinado. Quanto às relações externas, a sua actividade foi no sentido de criar laços de concórdia com os vários reinos, talvez com o intuito de se libertar de problemas que pusessem em dificuldades a política de expansão ultramarina. Alimentou o sonho de uma futura «monarquia ibérica», tendo conseguido contratar o casamento de seu filho D. Afonso com a primogénita dos Reis Católicos. A morte do infante veio, no entanto, deitar por terra estes planos. Manteve uma actividade diplomática intensa com vários países europeus, sendo de destacar a embaixada de Vasco de Lucena, enviada a Roma em 1485.

A última fase do reinado de D. João II está marcada pelo problema da sucessão do trono. Com a morte do infante D. Afonso, procura o rei habilitar ao trono o bastardo D. Jorge. No seu testamento, todavia, nomeia seu sucessor D. Manuel, irmão da rainha. Morre no Algarve em 1495, aceitando alguns historiadores a hipótese de ter sido envenenado.
