Bulgaria 10 leva High Jump Sydney Olympics Sports PR69 PCGS silver coin 1999

The Bulgaria 10 Leva silver proof coin issued in 1999 honors the upcoming XXVII Summer Olympic Games in Sydney 2000 and celebrates the discipline of high jump. The obverse presents an elegant athletic figure captured in mid-movement as the jumper arches over the bar. The body is stretched in a graceful curve, expressing both technique and strength. Below the athlete appears a stylized stadium with marked lanes and a central jumping area, adding depth and context. Surrounding the scene is the inscription “XXVII ЛЕТНИ ОЛИМПИЙСКИ ИГРИ – 2000”, along with the denomination “10 ЛЕВА” and the year of issue “1999”.

The reverse displays the emblem of the Българска народна банка — two heraldic lions standing on each side of a shield, with a scroll carrying the dates 1879–1999 beneath. This composition symbolizes the institution’s history and Bulgaria’s financial sovereignty. The polished proof fields and frosted relief create strong contrast, highlighting every detail of the coat of arms.

Certified PCGS PR69DCAM, the coin offers near-perfect preservation with deep cameo brilliance. Its combination of Olympic heritage, elegant sporting imagery and high-grade proof quality makes it an appealing addition to sports, commemorative and Bulgarian numismatic collections.
