Bulgaria 25 leva Endangered Wildlife Bears Forest PR66 PCGS silver coin 1989

The Bulgaria 25 Leva 1989 silver coin from the Endangered Wildlife series is a meaningful commemorative issue devoted to the preservation of forest fauna. Issued by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria, this coin highlights the bear as one of the most iconic inhabitants of Bulgarian woodlands, symbolizing strength, endurance, and the fragile balance between humans and nature. The design reflects late-20th-century efforts to raise awareness of endangered wildlife and environmental responsibility.

The reverse depicts a bear mother standing protectively in a forest setting, with cubs close by. The engraving captures the animal’s powerful build, layered fur texture, and attentive posture. Surrounding elements include grasses, shrubs, and pine branches, creating a realistic woodland atmosphere. Along the rim runs the Cyrillic inscription “Застрашени диви животни,” clearly identifying the endangered wildlife theme and reinforcing the conservation message.

The obverse features the state emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria: a heraldic lion within a wreath of wheat ears, topped by a star. Below the emblem is a ribbon bearing the historic dates “681–1944.” The circular legend reads “Народна Република България,” accompanied by the denomination “25 лева” and the year 1989.

Struck in silver with Proof quality, this coin is certified by PCGS as PR66 DCAM, offering attractive deep cameo contrast and sharp detail. As part of Bulgaria’s respected wildlife conservation program, it is a strong addition for collectors of fauna, nature-themed, and certified world coins.
