Bulgaria 10 leva Cosmonaut Flight Space Satellite PR67 PCGS silver coin 1979

The Bulgarian 10 Leva 1979 “Cosmonaut Flight” silver coin honors the first joint space mission between Bulgaria and the USSR — a landmark achievement symbolizing technological progress and international scientific partnership. With its highly reflective fields and frosted details, this PCGS PR67DCAM proof issue presents the design with exceptional clarity and depth.

The obverse features a detailed orbital spacecraft, shown with extended antennas, docking arms, cylindrical modules and surface panel lines. The engraving conveys precision engineering and the dynamic nature of spaceflight. A border of stars surrounds the central image, while the inscription “ПЪРВИ СЪВМЕСТЕН ПОЛЕТ В КОСМОСА” crowns the upper arc. Below, СССР ★ НРБ highlights the historic cooperation between the two nations.

On the reverse, the emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria stands prominently — a lion within a wreath of wheat ears, topped by a star and supported by a ribbon. The inscriptions НАРОДНА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ, the year 1979, and the denomination 10 ЛЕВА complete the composition, framed by another ring of stars for a unified, authoritative appearance.

Struck in silver and preserved in near-perfect deep cameo quality, this coin is an outstanding addition for collectors of space exploration themes, Bulgarian proof coinage and historically significant commemoratives.
