Bulgaria 10 leva National Theater Ivan Vazov PR68 PCGS silver coin 2004

The Bulgaria 10 Leva National Theatre “Ivan Vazov” (2004) is a refined silver commemorative coin honoring the 100th anniversary of Bulgaria’s most iconic cultural institution. The reverse presents a detailed engraving of the theatre’s grand neoclassical façade: tall Corinthian columns, richly ornamented pediment, arched windows, and the twin towers rising symmetrically above the structure. Surrounding inscriptions “НАРОДЕН ТЕАТЪР • ИВАН ВАЗОВ” and “100 ГОДИНИ” complete the composition with elegant balance.

The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Bulgaria — two heraldic lions supporting a crowned shield, oak leaves, and a ribbon bearing the dates 1879–2004. Around them runs the inscription “БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА БАНКА,” with the year 2004 and denomination 10 ЛЕВА placed below in bold proof contrast.

This Proof silver issue, certified PCGS PR68DCAM, celebrates Ivan Vazov — Bulgaria’s national writer whose name the theatre proudly carries — and the institution that has shaped the country’s dramatic arts for over a century. The coin’s deep cameo finish highlights architectural details with exceptional clarity, making it a standout piece for collectors of cultural, architectural, and Bulgarian commemorative issues.
