Once again, the Bank of Slovenia called a design competition to select one to mint on its 2 euro commemorative coin for the year 2025, which will be dedicated to the "Centenary of the birth of Miki Muster." A total of 33 designs were submitted to the competition. Both the winning sketch and the other two that were finalists have just been made public.

Before seeing the designs, let's get to know a little about the person to whom this commemorative 2 euro coin will be dedicated.

Miki Muster

Miki Muster (November 22, 1925 – May 7, 2018) was a Slovenian animator, illustrator, sculptor, comic book author, journalist and film director.
 
Miki Muster was the pioneer of comics in Slovenia and one of the most successful comic and cartoon artists. Although he graduated in sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, Muster discovered that he was more attracted to drawing. As the years went by, his drawing changed, becoming more sophisticated, just as his characters evolved and gained more facets and traits. In the 1950s and 1960s, Muster's comic strip characters, Zvitorepec, Trdonja and Lakotnik, appeared in the newspaper Slovenski poročevalec. His desire to explore the medium of cartoons took him to Munich, where he began drawing a series of animated films for Bavaria Film in 1973. His meeting with comedian and caricaturist Guillermo Mordillo in the mid-1970s led to a cartoon series and movies. The series was widely acclaimed and screened practically all over the world. Muster-Mordillo's cartoons were bought by television studios in thirty countries. Muster had the same success with his films about Nick Knatterton, based on the comic of the same name by Manfred Schmidt.
