A new coin.
The 1998 Bulgarian 10,000 Leva “Euro – Rhyton & Rider of Madara” silver coin, certified PCGS PR67 Deep Cameo, represents a rare fusion of ancient Bulgarian symbolism and the idea of European cultural unity. The obverse features an elegant map of Europe, rendered with frosted contours against deep black Proof fields. Twelve stars encircle the composition, echoing the symbolism of the European community. To the left appears a beautifully engraved Thracian rhyton, with its curved shape, ornate detailing and mythological ornaments, while the bold inscription “EURO” completes the modern, European-themed design.
The reverse is dedicated to Bulgaria’s most iconic medieval monument — the Madara Rider, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The horseman is shown in motion, spear in hand, with his cloak flowing behind him, while a lion runs beneath the horse, symbolizing power and royal authority. The Cyrillic legend “Република България” runs along the upper rim, with the date 1998 and the denomination 10000 ЛЕВА placed below. The contrast between mirror fields and frosted relief gives the design exceptional clarity and presence.
This coin stands out for its combination of ancient Thracian art, medieval Bulgarian heritage and modern European identity. With its near-perfect PR67 cameo finish and strong historical theme, it is a distinguished addition to any advanced Bulgarian numismatic collection.
