Bulgaria 1000 leva Football World Cup in France Players PR69 PCGS Ag coin 1997

This Bulgaria 1000 Leva silver coin from 1997, certified PCGS PR69DCAM, stands among the finest survivors of the issue. Dedicated to the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, it captures the energy and drama of world football. The reverse presents a vivid athletic scene: a central forward driving the ball through two defenders, their postures tense and dynamic. Sharp motion lines radiate from their feet, emphasizing speed and competition, while the inscription “XVI Световно първенство по футбол • 1998” crowns the composition.

The obverse features the national inscription “Република България,” the denomination 1000 Лева, and the year 1997. Surrounding them is a beautifully sculpted wreath of roses, leaves, and ribbon elements — a symbol of tradition, pride, and victory. The Deep Cameo Proof finish gives the piece a mirror-black field and frosted reliefs, with PR69 quality offering near-perfection in strike and surface.

A highlight of Bulgaria’s commemorative sports series, this coin unites artistry, history, and outstanding preservation — an exceptional choice for advanced collectors.
