Bulgaria 50 leva 1300th Anniversary of Republic PR67 PCGS silver coin 1981

The Bulgaria 50 Leva 1981 silver coin was issued to commemorate the 1300th Anniversary of the Bulgarian state, marking one of the most important jubilees in the country’s long history. Struck in 1981 with a denomination of fifty leva, this commemorative issue combines historical memory with strong artistic symbolism characteristic of Bulgaria’s anniversary coinage program.

The obverse presents a dynamic female figure in flowing garments, captured in motion and surrounded by a decorative wreath of leaves. The sculptural composition conveys ideas of freedom, renewal, and the enduring spirit of the nation. The polished proof fields contrast sharply with the frosted relief, enhancing the depth and elegance of the design, while a beaded border frames the scene.

The reverse features a left-facing portrait of Georgi Dimitrov, an important historical figure in Bulgaria’s 20th-century political history. Surrounding the portrait is a circular inscription, with the denomination fifty leva placed prominently below. Laurel branches, small decorative elements, and the year 1981 complete the composition, all enclosed by a dotted rim that adds structure to the mirror-like surface.

Struck in silver and certified by PCGS in Proof 67 Deep Cameo condition, this coin displays excellent preservation and strong contrast between devices and fields. As part of the prestigious 1300th anniversary series, it is a meaningful and visually impressive piece for collectors of Bulgarian and European commemorative numismatics.
