Bulgaria 10 leva 27 Summer Olympic Games Weightlifting PR68 PCGS silver 2000

This 2000 Bulgaria 10 Leva “XXVII Summer Olympic Games – Weightlifting” silver coin, certified PCGS PR68DCAM, honors Bulgaria’s strong Olympic tradition and the Sydney 2000 Games, where weightlifting was one of the nation’s most celebrated sports. The deep cameo proof strike enhances the dramatic composition, making this coin a standout piece in Bulgaria’s modern commemorative series.

The obverse features a powerful depiction of a weightlifter lifting a barbell overhead, rendered in clean modern lines that emphasize physical strength, discipline, and determination. The athlete occupies the center of the design, surrounded by wide mirrored fields. Along the lower rim runs the inscription “XXVII Летни Олимпийски Игри – 2000”, marking the 27th Summer Olympic Games. The minimalist layout and striking relief give the image a sculptural presence.

On the reverse, the official coat of arms of the Republic of Bulgaria is shown in full detail: two heraldic lions supporting a shield, a crown-like ornament above, and the date 1879 on a flowing scroll — the founding year of the Bulgarian National Bank. Below this emblem, the inscriptions “2000” and “10 ЛЕВА” clearly denote the year and denomination, while “Българска Народна Банка” arcs around the upper edge.

With its superb PR68DCAM grade, brilliant proof finish, and Olympic theme, this coin is highly desirable for collectors of sports numismatics, modern silver proofs, and Bulgarian national commemoratives.
