Bulgaria 100 leva The Radetsky Steam Liner Ship PR66 PCGS silver coin 1992

This 1992 Bulgaria 100 Leva “Radetsky Steamship” silver coin pays homage to one of the most important patriotic symbols in Bulgarian history — the steam liner Radetsky, famously connected with Hristo Botev and the events of 1876. The obverse features a detailed engraving of the historic Radetsky ship, showing its multi-deck construction, paddle wheels, rigging, masts, fluttering flag and the inscription „Корабът Радецки“. The date 1876 highlights the year of Botev’s legendary commandeering of the vessel during the fight for national liberation. Below the bow lies a symbolic scroll, signifying revolutionary ideals and Bulgaria’s struggle toward independence.

The reverse carries the classic national wreath of roses, buds, leaves and ribbon, surrounding the inscriptions „Република България“, 100 Лева and 1992. The deep cameo proof finish creates a striking contrast between mirror fields and frosted reliefs. Graded PCGS PR66DCAM, this coin stands out for its sharp details and superior visual clarity. Combining historical significance, maritime artistry and patriotic symbolism, it is an excellent piece for collectors of Bulgarian commemoratives and world ship-themed numismatics.
