The Bulgarian 10 Leva 1979 “Cosmonaut Flight” silver coin celebrates the first joint space mission between Bulgaria and the USSR — a defining moment in the nation’s technological and scientific history. Graded PCGS PR69DCAM, this near-perfect proof coin displays striking contrast between its deep mirror fields and sharply frosted reliefs, making every engraved detail exceptionally vivid.
The obverse presents a detailed spacecraft in orbit, complete with antennas, docking arms, cylindrical modules, surface paneling and mechanical extensions. These elements are arranged with precision, giving the satellite a sense of realistic motion. A full ring of stars creates a border around the design, while the inscription “ПЪРВИ СЪВМЕСТЕН ПОЛЕТ В КОСМОСА” arcs across the top. At the bottom, СССР ★ НРБ highlights the international partnership behind the mission.
On the reverse, the emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria dominates the composition: a heraldic lion framed by wheat ears, a five-pointed star above, and a ribbon below. Surrounding inscriptions НАРОДНА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ, the year 1979, and the denomination 10 ЛЕВА complete the design, set within another star-ornamented border.
Struck in silver and preserved in exceptional PR69 condition, this coin is a standout piece for collectors of space exploration, Bulgarian history, and premium proof numismatics.
