Bulgaria 5 leva Athens Olympic Games Gymnastics PR70 PCGS gold coin 2002

Bulgaria 5 Leva 2002 is an exquisite gold commemorative coin dedicated to the Athens Summer Olympic Games and the sport of gymnastics, a discipline symbolizing harmony, strength, and perfect control of the human body. Issued by the Bulgarian National Bank, this miniature masterpiece reflects Bulgaria’s tribute to the Olympic ideals and the historic return of the Games to Athens, the cradle of Olympism.

The obverse showcases a finely detailed gymnast captured in a dynamic pose, emphasizing balance, flexibility, and elegance. The athlete’s body is rendered with classical clarity against a deep mirrored field, while subtle sculptural lines convey motion and discipline. Above the figure appears the inscription “Athina,” accompanied by the Olympic dates 1896 and 2004, linking the first modern Olympic Games with the Athens edition. The contrast between the frosted design and the glossy background creates a striking Deep Cameo effect.

On the reverse, the emblem of the Bulgarian National Bank is centrally placed, featuring the heraldic lion with shield and decorative elements rooted in national symbolism. Encircling inscriptions include the issuing authority, the year 2002, and the denomination written as five leva, completing the formal and refined composition.

Struck in gold with Proof finish and certified by PCGS as PR70 Deep Cameo, this coin represents absolute perfection in preservation and eye appeal. It is an exceptional choice for collectors of Olympic memorabilia, elite gold issues, and modern Bulgarian numismatics.
