Bulgaria 5 leva 50 Years of the Anti-Fascist Uprising PR67 PCGS silver coin 1973

The Bulgaria 5 Leva silver commemorative coin dated 1973 honors the September Anti-Fascist Uprising of 1923, one of the most ideologically charged episodes in Bulgarian interwar history. Issued fifty years after the events, this coin reflects the historical narrative officially emphasized during the period of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria.

The reverse features a striking multi-figure composition showing armed insurgents advancing forward in a unified movement. One figure kneels with a rifle aimed ahead, while others stride beside him, supporting a large banner that rises diagonally behind the group. The scene conveys tension, determination, and collective resistance. Along the rim is the Bulgarian inscription “СЕПТЕМВРИЙСКО АНТИФАШИСТКО ВЪСТАНИЕ,” with the date “1923” clearly positioned below the figures.

On the obverse appears the state emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria: a rampant lion enclosed within a wreath of wheat ears, surmounted by a five-pointed star. Beneath the emblem is the date range “681–1944,” as presented in the official heraldry of the era. The surrounding legend reads “НАРОДНА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ,” while the denomination is written in words as “ПЕТ ЛЕВА,” with the year “1973” placed below.

Struck in silver with prooflike cameo finish, this coin is certified by PCGS as PR67 CAM, offering sharp detail and attractive contrast. A meaningful acquisition for collectors of Bulgarian history, political themes, and certified silver commemoratives.
