Bulgaria 25 leva Conservation Wildlife Bear Cubs Fauna PF68 NGC silver coin 1989

The Bulgaria 25 leva 1989 Conservation Wildlife – Bear and Cubs coin is a beautifully executed silver commemorative issue devoted to the protection of endangered fauna, focusing on one of Bulgaria’s most powerful natural symbols: the brown bear. Issued in 1989 with a denomination of 25 leva, this coin reflects the late socialist-era emphasis on environmental awareness and nature preservation.

The obverse features the emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria. At the center stands the heraldic lion, framed by a wreath of wheat ears and topped with a five-pointed star. Below the emblem, on a ribbon, appears the historic date range “681–1944.” The circular legend reads “НАРОДНА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ,” while the denomination “25 ЛЕВА” and the year 1989 are placed along the lower rim. The proof finish creates a strong contrast between mirrored fields and frosted relief.

The reverse presents a tender wildlife scene: a large bear seated among forest vegetation, accompanied by its cubs nestled close by. The detailed fur texture, trees, branches, and ground elements convey a calm, protective atmosphere. The inscription “ЗАСТРАШЕНИ ДИВИ ЖИВОТНИ” curves around the upper rim, clearly stating the conservation theme.

Struck in silver and certified PF68 Ultra Cameo by NGC, this coin is an outstanding example of Bulgarian wildlife numismatics, appealing to collectors of fauna, nature, and conservation-themed issues.
