The Bulgaria 10 Leva silver coin issued in 1982 celebrates the XII FIFA World Cup hosted in Spain, capturing the excitement and global spirit of the tournament.

On the reverse appears the emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria: a heraldic lion within a wreath of wheat ears, topped by a five-pointed star. The dates 1944 and 1982 flank the emblem, marking the period of the republic. Below, the bold “10 ЛЕВА” is placed between two laurel branches symbolizing victory and athletic excellence.
