Bulgaria 10000 leva Euro Rhyton Rider of Madara PR68 PCGS silver coin 1998

The 1998 Bulgaria 10,000 Leva Euro Rhyton – Rider of Madara silver coin is a remarkable collector’s piece uniting Bulgaria’s ancient cultural identity with its modern European aspirations. The obverse presents the iconic Madara Rider, a UNESCO-listed medieval rock relief symbolizing Bulgarian statehood, strength and continuity. The horseman, hunting dog and defeated lion are rendered in refined proof detail, surrounded by inscriptions “РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ,” the year 1998 and the 10,000 Leva denomination.

The reverse highlights a bold EURO inscription, a map of Europe, and a finely sculpted Thracian rhyton, recalling Bulgaria’s millennia-old craftsmanship. Stars encircle the design, symbolizing unity and shared heritage. Struck in silver with a pristine Proof Deep Cameo finish and graded PCGS PR68DCAM, the coin combines numismatic rarity with outstanding visual contrast. Issued in 1998, it stands as part of Bulgaria’s transitional commemorative series celebrating European integration.

An excellent addition to any advanced world coin collection, especially for those who value historical depth, artistic symbolism and certified quality.
