A new coin.
The 1988 Bulgaria 10 Leva “XXIV Summer Olympic Games – Seoul” silver coin honors Bulgaria’s participation in one of the most memorable Olympic events of the late 20th century. The reverse features a dynamic composition of runners captured in stylized motion: layered silhouettes suggest speed and athletic rhythm, with horizontal lines intensifying the sense of forward movement. The design includes the official Olympic rings, the year 1988, and a small emblem resembling a rising sun motif. The inscription “XXIV ЛЕТНИ ОЛИМПИЙСКИ ИГРИ” curves along the edge, completing the energetic scene.
The obverse displays the state emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria — a heraldic lion within a shield, surrounded by wheat ears, ribbons inscribed 681–1944, and a five-pointed star above. The bold inscription “НАРОДНА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ” encircles the upper field. The clean proof finish sharply contrasts with the frosted emblem, giving the coin a strong visual presence.
Certified PCGS PR68DCAM, this piece presents deep cameo contrast and well-preserved proof surfaces. Its combination of Olympic heritage, socialist-era symbolism, and elegant artistic execution makes it a prized addition to collections focused on sports history, world commemoratives, and Bulgarian numismatics.
