Bulgaria 5 leva Folk Crafts Traditions Carpet Making PR69 PCGS silver coin 2007

This Bulgarian 5 Leva commemorative coin issued in 2007 belongs to the Folk Crafts Traditions program and is dedicated to traditional carpet making, one of the most expressive branches of Bulgarian decorative art. The issue emphasizes the use of natural colors and time-honored weaving techniques passed down through generations.

The reverse presents a vivid geometric carpet ornament rendered in rich color. The central composition is built from stepped rhombuses, zigzag lines, and angular shapes arranged symmetrically around a star-like motif. Dominant tones of red, green, yellow, and brown reflect natural dyes traditionally obtained from plants and minerals. Vertical linear elements resemble loom threads, visually linking the design to the weaving process. The ornament is encircled by the Bulgarian inscription “БАГРИ ОТ ПРИРОДАТА – КИЛИМАРСТВО,” framed by a dotted decorative border.

The obverse features the emblem of the Bulgarian National Bank with two heraldic lions supporting a central shield above a ribbon marked with the historic date 1879. Around the emblem are the inscriptions “БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА БАНКА,” the year 2007, and the denomination five leva, all set against deep mirrored fields.

Struck in silver with colored proof finish, this coin is certified by PCGS as PR69 DCAM, representing an exceptionally high level of preservation and visual contrast. A vibrant and culturally rich piece, it is ideal for collectors of folk art, traditional crafts, and premium modern Bulgarian coins.
