Bulgaria 2 leva Republic 20th Anniversary Georgi Dimitrov Politics Ag coin 1964

The Bulgaria 2 leva silver coin issued in 1964 commemorates the 20th anniversary of the proclamation of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria, marking a key political milestone in the country’s modern history. This commemorative issue reflects the ideological symbolism and state narrative of the mid-20th century and is closely associated with Georgi Dimitrov, a central figure in Bulgarian political life of that era.

The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Georgi Dimitrov, rendered in strong, realistic relief. Around the rim runs the inscription “ГЕОРГИ ДИМИТРОВ,” while below the portrait appear the dates “1882” and “1949,” separated by small five-pointed stars. The background shows natural toning and surface texture typical of circulation-era silver issues, adding historical character to the piece.

The reverse displays the denomination “2 ЛЕВА” at the center, with a stylized flag above it bearing a single star. Along the upper rim is the inscription “НАРОДНА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ,” while the lower rim reads “20 ГОДИНИ 1944–1964,” framed by small stars. The balanced composition emphasizes state symbolism, political identity, and anniversary significance.

Struck in silver with standard circulation finish, this coin represents an important period of Bulgarian political history. A compelling addition for collectors of Cold War–era numismatics, political commemoratives, and historical silver coinage from Eastern Europe.
