Bulgaria 5 leva April Uprising Against Turks PR66 PCGS silver coin 1976

The Bulgaria 5 Leva silver commemorative coin dated 1976 marks the centenary of the April Uprising of 1876, a defining event in Bulgarian national history during the final decades of Ottoman rule. Issued one hundred years after the uprising, this coin reflects the historical interpretation and artistic style of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria.

The reverse features 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 placed against a stylized background of curved radiating lines, adding depth and symbolic motion to the scene. To the left of the figure appears the date “1876.” The surrounding inscription reads “АПРИЛСКО ВЪСТАНИЕ” along the upper rim and “СТО ГОДИНИ” at the bottom, clearly identifying the event and its centennial anniversary.

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

Struck in silver with prooflike deep cameo surfaces, this coin is certified by PCGS as PR66 DCAM. It is a strong collectible for those interested in Bulgarian history, revolutionary symbolism, and certified commemorative issues.
