The 1979 Bulgaria 10 Leva “International Year of the Child” silver coin honors the global UNICEF initiative dedicated to children’s rights, education, and wellbeing. The obverse features a joyful scene of three children holding hands and dancing, each dressed in traditional attire with carefully rendered folds, hats, and footwear. Two UNICEF emblems flank the composition, while the inscription “МЕЖДУНАРОДНА ГОДИНА НА ДЕТЕТО” arches along the rim above the date 1979, framed by decorative leaf motifs symbolizing growth and hope.

The reverse displays the national emblem of the People's Republic of Bulgaria with the lion crest, wreath, five-pointed star, and ribbon marked 681–1944, flanked by the split date 19 – 79. Below, the denomination 10 ЛЕВА is positioned between two stylized flowers, surrounded by an ornate border of small repeating leaf elements.

This commemorative issue reflects Bulgaria’s participation in worldwide humanitarian efforts and captures the spirit of protecting childhood during a significant international campaign. Struck in silver with a brilliant Proof finish and certified NGC PF67 Ultra Cameo, the coin stands out with strong contrast and exceptional detail. A meaningful addition for collectors of UNICEF themes, social history, and Bulgarian commemorative coinage.
