A new coin.
This 1988 Bulgaria 1 Lev “Seoul Summer Olympic Games – Running” coin, certified PCGS PR67DCAM, celebrates the XXIV Olympic Games held in Seoul. Issued in CuNi with a deep cameo proof finish, it features a dynamic and modern composition that reflects the spirit of athletic excellence and international unity.
The obverse presents a stylized runner in motion, rendered with elongated horizontal lines that create a sense of acceleration and speed. The athlete’s silhouette is accompanied by the inscription “XXIV Летни Олимпийски Игри” (XXIV Summer Olympic Games). Below appear the Olympic rings, the date 1988, and the denomination 1 Лев, arranged with geometric precision. A small floral emblem sits to the left, completing the official Olympic motif.
On the reverse, the emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria dominates the design. A heraldic lion stands at the center, framed by wheat ears, a five-pointed star and the founding date 681–1944 on a ribbon. Surrounding inscriptions “Народна Република България” form a bold circular legend around the national symbol.
Struck with deep cameo contrast and crisp detail, this proof coin belongs to Bulgaria’s Olympic commemorative program, making it an appealing piece for collectors of sports, Olympic history, and modern Bulgarian coinage.
