Bulgaria 5 leva April Uprising Against Turks PR63 PCGS silver coin 1976

The Bulgaria 5 Leva silver commemorative coin dated 1976 is dedicated to the April Uprising of 1876, a key event in Bulgarian national history during the period of Ottoman rule. Issued exactly one hundred years after the uprising, this coin reflects historical memory as interpreted in the era of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria.

The reverse presents a solemn full-length figure of a Bulgarian rebel standing upright and holding a large unfurled banner. The figure is dressed in traditional clothing and positioned against a stylized background of radiating lines, suggesting both movement and symbolic resonance. To the left of the figure appears the date “1876.” The surrounding inscription reads “АПРИЛСКО ВЪСТАНИЕ” and “СТО ГОДИНИ,” clearly identifying the event and its centenary.

The obverse features the emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria. At the center is a rampant lion enclosed within a wreath of wheat ears, topped by a five-pointed star. Beneath the emblem are the dates “681” and “1944,” integrated into the heraldic design. Around the rim runs the inscription “НАРОДНА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ,” with the denomination shown as the numeral “5” and the word “ЛЕВА,” flanked by small stars. The mint year “1976” is placed to the left of the denomination.

Struck in silver with prooflike cameo surfaces, this coin is certified by PCGS as PR63 CAM. It represents a meaningful piece for collectors interested in Bulgarian history, revolutionary symbolism, and certified commemorative issues.
