Bulgaria 10 leva Sydney Summer Olympic Games High Jump proof silver coin 1999

The Bulgaria 10 Leva “High Jump” 1999 proof silver coin is a dynamic tribute to the XXVII Summer Olympic Games in Sydney. The obverse depicts a high jumper frozen in the graceful Fosbury Flop technique—back arched, arms extended, and legs trailing elegantly behind. Beneath the athlete is a detailed running track with segmented lanes and textured surface, while the curved bar and the year “1999” anchor the composition. The inscription „ХXVII ЛЕТНИ ОЛИМПИЙСКИ ИГРИ – 2000“ encircles the upper edge, accompanied by the denomination “10 ЛЕВА.” The contrast between frosted relief and mirrored background enhances the sense of movement and depth.

The reverse features the emblem of the Bulgarian National Bank: two heraldic lions supporting a shield decorated with an oak branch, symbolizing strength and continuity. The ribbon bears the years “1879–1999,” marking the bank’s anniversary, while the surrounding legend „БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА БАНКА“ completes the dignified composition. The proof finish highlights every fine engraving, giving the coin a striking visual presence.

A refined and collectible Olympic issue, this coin blends athletic excellence with Bulgarian national symbolism—an appealing choice for numismatists and sports enthusiasts alike.
