Bulgaria 25 leva Winter Olympic Games Figure Skating PR68 PCGS silver coin 1989

The Bulgaria 25 Leva 1989 silver coin commemorates the XVI Winter Olympic Games, dedicated to the elegance and technical mastery of figure skating. Issued by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria, this coin forms part of the national Olympic commemorative program marking the Winter Games held in Albertville in 1992 and reflects the refined artistic approach of late-1980s Bulgarian proof coinage.

The reverse depicts a pair of figure skaters performing a graceful lift on the ice. Their synchronized posture, extended arms, and flowing movement convey balance, harmony, and athletic precision. A thin horizontal line beneath their skates symbolizes the ice surface, anchoring the dynamic composition. Along the upper rim runs the Cyrillic inscription “XVI ЗИМНИ ОЛИМПИЙСКИ ИГРИ”, clearly identifying the Sixteenth Winter Olympic Games, while the date “1992” appears to the right of the figures. Frosted relief elements stand out vividly against deep mirrored fields, enhancing depth and visual elegance.

The obverse features the state emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria. At the center is a heraldic lion set within a wreath of wheat ears, topped by a star and bound with ribbons. Beneath the emblem are the historic dates “681 – 1944.” The inscription “НАРОДНА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ,” together with the denomination “25 ЛЕВА” and the issue year “1989,” completes the official design.

Struck in silver with deep cameo contrast, this coin is certified by PCGS as PR68 DCAM, offering excellent preservation and strong eye appeal. A refined collectible for Olympic enthusiasts, figure skating admirers, and collectors of Bulgarian commemorative silver.
