Bulgaria 10 leva King Boris III Coinage Khan Krum UNC PCGS NiSteel coin 1943

The Bulgaria 10 Leva “Khan Krum” 1943 coin, certified PCGS Genuine – Cleaned UNC Detail, is an evocative historical issue from the final years of the reign of King Boris III. The obverse portrays Khan Krum on horseback, a symbolic tribute to one of the earliest and most influential rulers of medieval Bulgaria. The design shows the khan holding a raised drinking vessel, while the powerful horse steps forward over fallen armor and a shield — a scene meant to emphasize military strength and leadership. The inscription „КРУМЪ“ appears above the rider, with small date and mint marks below.

On the reverse, the denomination 10 ЛЕВА is placed within a wreath composed of oak leaves, acorns, flowers, and laurel, tied with an ornamental ribbon. Beneath it stands the date 1943 and the inscription „БЪЛГАРИЯ“, all encircled by a beaded border that gives the coin a classic early-20th-century aesthetic.

Struck in nickel steel (NiSteel) during wartime conditions, this coin reflects both national pride and the economic realities of its era. Despite being marked as “Cleaned–UNC Detail,” it retains sharp devices, strong luster, and excellent historical value — a compelling addition for collectors of Bulgarian monarchy coinage.
