Bulgaria 1 lev April Uprising Against Turks PR67 PCGS bronze coin 1976

The 1976 Bulgaria 1 Lev “April Uprising” coin, graded PCGS PR67RD, is a striking tribute to one of the most defining moments in Bulgarian history — the April Uprising of 1876, a heroic movement that paved the way toward national liberation. Struck in bronze with a rich red proof finish, the coin immediately draws attention with its powerful symbolism.

The obverse features crossed flintlock pistols, a central emblem of the revolutionaries, framed by the motto “Свобода или смърт” (Freedom or Death). Around the rim stretches the inscription commemorating the 100th anniversary of the uprising, along with the date 1876, all executed in bold, deeply engraved lettering.

The reverse displays the emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria — a lion crest surrounded by the national inscription, the year 1976, and the denomination 1 Лев, arranged within a clean, balanced circular layout.

Issued as a special commemorative piece, this proof coin highlights Bulgaria’s struggle for independence and honors the bravery of its revolutionaries. Its PCGS PR67RD grade underscores exceptional preservation and brilliant color. A meaningful historic collectible and an excellent addition to any certified world coin collection.
