Bulgaria 5 stotinki Ferdinand I KM-24 MS 62 PCGS CuNi coin 1913

The Bulgaria 5 stotinki coin dated 1913 is a classic circulation issue from the reign of King Ferdinand I, representing the final years of the Kingdom of Bulgaria before the First World War. Struck in copper-nickel, this coin reflects the official state symbolism and refined engraving style of early 20th-century Bulgarian coinage.

The obverse is dominated by the crowned coat of arms of Bulgaria, featuring a heraldic lion standing upright on a shield. Above the shield rests the royal crown, finely detailed with arches and central ornament. Around the central emblem runs the inscription “Bulgaria” in Cyrillic, separated by small stars. A dotted border follows the rim, framing the design and emphasizing the formal, authoritative character of the royal arms.

The reverse displays the denomination five stotinki at the center, with the year 1913 positioned below. The composition is enclosed by an ornate wreath formed of laurel and oak branches, symbolizing victory, strength, and endurance. At the base of the wreath is a decorative ribbon with floral elements, adding elegance to the otherwise utilitarian circulation design. A beaded rim completes the layout.

Issued under King Ferdinand I, this coin belongs to a significant period of Bulgarian monetary history marked by modernization and national ambition. Certified by PCGS as MS62, it offers collectors an attractive example of well-preserved royal-era minor coinage.
