Bulgaria 5 leva Crafts Carpet Making Ornament PR68 PCGS colored silver coin 2007

This Bulgarian 5 Leva commemorative coin from 2007 belongs to the “Bulgarian Crafts” series and is dedicated to traditional carpet making, with a focus on natural colors and authentic folk ornamentation. The issue highlights the deep connection between Bulgarian weaving traditions and the natural environment that inspires their rich color palette.

The reverse displays an elaborate geometric carpet ornament rendered in vivid colors. The composition features stepped rhombuses, zigzag bands, and symmetrical angular motifs arranged around a central star-like element. Shades of red, green, yellow, and brown dominate the design, reflecting natural dyes traditionally used in Bulgarian carpets. Vertical linear elements evoke loom threads, reinforcing the craft theme. Encircling the design is the inscription “БАГРИ ОТ ПРИРОДАТА – КИЛИМАРСТВО,” set within a dotted decorative border that frames the colorful centerpiece.

The obverse shows the emblem of the Bulgarian National Bank with two heraldic lions supporting a central shield above a ribbon marked with the historic date 1879. Around the emblem appear the inscriptions “БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА БАНКА,” the year 2007, and the denomination five leva, arranged in a clean circular layout against mirrored fields.

Struck in silver with a colored proof finish, this coin is certified by PCGS as PR68 DCAM, offering deep mirror surfaces and strong contrast. A vibrant tribute to folk art and craftsmanship, it is an excellent choice for collectors of Bulgarian culture and modern certified coins.
