Bulgaria 100 leva The Radetsky Steam Liner Ship PR67 PCGS silver coin 1992

This 1992 Bulgaria 100 Leva “Radetsky Steamship” silver coin honors one of the most iconic vessels in Bulgarian history — the Radetsky, inseparably linked to Hristo Botev and the revolutionary events of 1876. The obverse features a finely executed engraving of the steam liner, showing its multi-tier decks, paddle wheels, rigging, tall masts and fluttering flag. The inscription „Корабът Радецки“ arcs above the scene, while the date 1876 marks the legendary moment when Botev’s detachment commandeered the ship. Beneath the bow lies a symbolic scroll, representing patriotic ideals and the struggle for national liberation.

The reverse displays the elegant Bulgarian commemorative wreath composed of rose blossoms, buds, leaves and a ribbon, framing the inscriptions „Република България“, 100 Лева, and 1992. Struck in silver with a deep cameo proof finish, the coin exhibits brilliant mirrors and sharply frosted reliefs. The grade PCGS PR67DCAM highlights its excellent preservation and strong visual appeal. This issue stands out as a meaningful combination of historical heritage, maritime symbolism and artistic craftsmanship, making it an outstanding addition to Bulgarian and world commemorative collections.
