This Bulgarian silver commemorative coin issued in 1998 is dedicated to Bulgaria’s association with the European Union, symbolizing the country’s strategic orientation toward European integration and shared continental values. Struck during a period of political and economic transition, the coin reflects aspirations for cooperation, unity, and participation in the European community.

The reverse features a prominent architectural building rendered in detailed relief, representing Europe’s cultural and institutional heritage. Above the structure is a semicircle of stars, echoing the emblematic stars of the European Union and reinforcing the theme of unity. Below the building appears the inscription “EURO,” emphasizing the European focus of the design. The frosted elements contrast strongly with the polished mirror field, giving the composition depth and clarity.

The obverse displays the official coat of arms of the Republic of Bulgaria at the center, featuring the crowned shield with a lion, flanked by two supporting lions and topped by a royal crown. Around the emblem is the inscription “Republic of Bulgaria” in Cyrillic. At the bottom is the denomination written as five thousand leva in numeric form, along with the year 1998. The balanced layout conveys authority, statehood, and national identity.

Struck in silver and certified by PCGS as PR67 Deep Cameo, this coin forms part of Bulgaria’s modern political commemorative program. Its European theme, symbolic imagery, and certified condition make it a meaningful addition to collections focused on European history and world silver coinage.
