The hand-engraved portrait of the paintress Ivana Kobilca is the main motif on the front of the banknote. The image is complemented by a silhouette of her profile, which is filled with micro writing. The left-hand side of the note shows an easel and a medallion with the profile of the painter.

Above the easel, on the note issued on 1 June 1993, there is a painter´s palette in optically variable ink and on the 8 October 1997 issue, a LIFT foil showing the denomination and a silhouette of the artist. On the 15 January 2002 issue, there is a hologram in the form of a palette, with a pattern of stylized flowers and the numbers "5000", both in colours which change as you tilt the note. The watermark bears the portrait of Ivana Kobilca.

The back of the note shows the plan of the facade of the National Gallery in Ljubljana. To its right the ground plan and the profile projection of the Robba Fountain are shown. Both images are printed in intaglio ink. The composition ends on the right with the plan of the new wing of the National Gallery. The 15 January 2002 issue has a windowed thread with micro-lettering close to the left edge of the banknote. The micro-lettering reads Banka Slovenije.

Ivana Kobilca
Ivana Kobilca (20 December 1861–4 December 1926) is the most prominent Slovene woman painter and a key figure of Slovene cultural identity. She was a realist painter who studied and worked in Vienna, Munich, Paris, Sarajevo, Berlin, and Ljubljana. She mostly painted oil paintings and pastels, whereas her drawings are few. The themes include still lifes, portraits, genre works, allegories, and religious scenes. She has been contradictory and criticised, because she followed movements that had not developed further in later periods.


National Gallery of Slovenia
The National Gallery of Slovenia (Slovene: Narodna galerija) is the national art gallery of Slovenia. It is located in the capital Ljubljana.
The Slovenian National Gallery was founded in 1918, after the dissolution of Austria-Hungary and the establishment of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. Initially, it was hosted in the Kresija Palace of Ljubljana, but moved to the present location in 1919.


The Robba Fountain
The Robba Fountain (Slovene: Robbov vodnjak), since the first half of the 20th century also known as the Fountain of the Three Carniolan Rivers (Vodnjak treh kranjskih rek), is the fountain that stands in front of the Ljubljana Town Hall at Town Square in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It was originally made in 1751 by the Italian sculptor Francesco Robba and is one of the city's most recognisable symbols.
