Bulgaria 10000 leva Euro Rhyton Rider of Madara PR69 PCGS silver coin 1998

The 1998 Bulgaria 10,000 Leva Euro Rhyton – Rider of Madara silver coin in superb PCGS PR69 Deep Cameo quality is one of the most visually striking issues of Bulgaria’s late-1990s commemorative program. The reverse features the celebrated Madara Rider, an emblem deeply rooted in Bulgaria’s medieval history and recognized by UNESCO. The horseman, his flowing cloak, the horse’s musculature, the hunting dog and the subdued lion beneath form a powerful symbol of victory and statehood, framed by the inscription “РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ • 1998 • 10 000 ЛЕВА”.

On the obverse, the coin highlights Bulgaria’s path toward Europe with a bold EURO inscription, a precisely rendered map of Europe, and the elegant Thracian rhyton, a nod to ancient craftsmanship. Surrounding stars reinforce the theme of continental unity. Struck in proof silver with rich contrast and flawless mirror fields, this PR69 specimen stands near the top of the grading scale, making it significantly rarer and more desirable. It is part of the key issues celebrating Bulgaria’s European integration.

A prestigious centerpiece for collectors who appreciate historical symbolism, immaculate proof quality, and certified numismatic excellence.
