Bulgaria 10 leva 27 Summer Olympic Games Weightlifting PR68 PCGS silver 2000

This 2000 Bulgaria 10 Leva “XXVII Summer Olympic Games – Weightlifting” silver coin, certified PCGS PR68DCAM, was issued to honor the Sydney 2000 Olympics, where Bulgaria’s weightlifting tradition once again stood at the forefront of national pride. With its deep cameo contrast and immaculate proof surfaces, the coin embodies both athletic strength and refined artistry.

The obverse features a commanding image of a weightlifter raising a barbell overhead, captured in a stylized, sculptural manner that highlights the power and discipline required in Olympic competition. The clean mirrored background emphasizes the raised frosted figure. Along the lower curve runs the inscription “XXVII Летни Олимпийски Игри – 2000”, identifying the 27th Summer Olympic Games. The barbell plates, muscular arms, and confident posture create a visually striking, energetic composition.

On the reverse, the detailed coat of arms of the Republic of Bulgaria occupies the center. Two heraldic lions support the national shield, with a crown-like decorative element above and the year 1879 engraved on a flowing scroll — a tribute to the founding year of the Bulgarian National Bank. Surrounding inscriptions include “Българска Народна Банка”, the year 2000, and the denomination 10 ЛЕВА, all elegantly arranged within a polished circular field.

With its Olympic theme, high-grade preservation, and strong visual impact, this coin is a premium choice for collectors of Bulgarian silver proofs, sports commemoratives, and modern numismatics.
