Bulgaria 20 stotinki Ferdinand I KM-26 MS 62 PCGS CuNi coin 1913

The Bulgaria 20 stotinki 1913 coin is an authentic circulation issue from the Kingdom of Bulgaria, minted during the reign of Tsar Ferdinand I, a period marked by strong national symbolism and state consolidation. Issued with a face value of 20 stotinki, this coin reflects Bulgaria’s monarchic identity on the eve of major political and social change in Europe.

The obverse presents the crowned Bulgarian coat of arms in fine detail. At its center is a heraldic lion standing rampant on a vertically lined shield, a traditional emblem of courage, sovereignty, and continuity of Bulgarian statehood. Above the shield rises a royal crown topped with a cross, emphasizing the authority of the monarchy. Around the design runs the inscription “БЪЛГАРИЯ” and the national motto “СЪЕДИНЕНИЕТО ПРАВИ СИЛАТА” (Unity Makes Strength), separated by small six-pointed stars, all enclosed within a beaded border.

The reverse features the denomination “20 СТОТИНКИ” prominently engraved, with the date 1913 placed below. The central inscription is framed by an elegant wreath composed of laurel and oak branches with leaves, acorns, roses, and a ribbon bow at the bottom, symbolizing victory, endurance, and civic values. A dotted rim completes the composition.

Struck in copper-nickel and certified MS62 by PCGS, this coin is a desirable example of early 20th-century Bulgarian royal coinage, ideal for collectors of European history and monarchic issues.
