Bulgaria 5 leva Athens Olympic Games Archery PR69 PCGS gold coin 2002

Bulgaria 5 Leva 2002 is a striking gold commemorative coin dedicated to the Athens Summer Olympic Games and the ancient sport of archery, a discipline rooted in both classical history and modern Olympic tradition. Issued by the Bulgarian National Bank, this coin celebrates Bulgaria’s participation in the Olympic movement and the symbolic return of the Games to their birthplace in Greece.

The obverse presents a dynamic depiction of an archer in mid-action, drawing a bow with taut precision. The figure is rendered in a classical style, echoing ancient Greek athletic imagery, while sharp geometric lines emphasize tension and focus. Above the archer appears the inscription “Athina,” accompanied by the Olympic years 1896 and 2004, linking the first modern Games with the Athens Olympics. The mirror-like field and frosted design create an elegant Cameo contrast.

On the reverse, the official emblem of the Bulgarian National Bank is displayed at the center, with the heraldic lion and shield, crowned by historic symbolism. Surrounding inscriptions include the issuing authority, the year 2002, and the denomination written as five leva. The compact, refined composition enhances the coin’s prestige.

Struck in gold with Proof finish, this piece is certified by PCGS as PR69 Deep Cameo, representing near-perfect preservation and exceptional eye appeal. A refined Olympic collectible, it is ideal for collectors of gold coins, Olympic themes, and modern Bulgarian numismatics.
