Bulgaria 25 leva Summer Olympic Games Rowers Boat PR68 PCGS silver coin 1989

The Bulgaria 25 Leva 1989 silver coin commemorates the Summer Olympic Games, highlighting the demanding and synchronized sport of rowing. Issued by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria, this piece belongs to the country’s Olympic commemorative program and reflects both athletic excellence and the artistic clarity typical of Bulgarian proof coinage from the late 1980s.

The reverse presents two rowers seated in a racing boat, captured mid-stroke as they pull their oars through the water in perfect coordination. The elongated hull cuts across stylized wave lines, emphasizing speed, rhythm, and endurance. Above the athletes appears the inscription “XXV ЛЕТНИ,” referencing the 25th Summer Olympic Games, while “ОЛИМПИЙСКИ ИГРИ” curves along the lower rim. The year “1992” is placed to the left within the design, linking the scene to the Olympic cycle. The frosted figures and boat contrast sharply against deep mirrored fields, enhancing the sense of motion and balance.

The obverse features the state emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria, with a heraldic lion centered within a wreath of wheat ears, topped by a star and tied with ribbons. Below the emblem are the dates “681 – 1944,” symbolizing key moments in Bulgarian state history. The inscription “НАРОДНА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ” encircles the design, while the denomination “25 ЛЕВА” and issue year “1989” complete the composition.

Struck in silver with deep cameo contrast, this coin is certified by PCGS as PR68 DCAM, offering excellent preservation and eye appeal. A refined choice for collectors of Olympic memorabilia, rowing themes, and Bulgarian commemorative silver coins.
