Bulgaria 5 leva 50 Years of the Anti-Fascist Uprising PR66 PCGS silver coin 1973

The Bulgaria 5 Leva silver commemorative coin issued in 1973 is dedicated to the September Anti-Fascist Uprising of 1923, a pivotal event in Bulgarian twentieth-century history. Struck to mark fifty years since the uprising, this coin reflects the ideological and historical narrative of its era and stands as a powerful artifact of national memory.

The reverse presents a dynamic relief scene of armed insurgents in motion. Several figures are depicted advancing forward, one holding a rifle, another supporting a banner raised behind them. Their poses convey urgency, struggle, and collective action. Along the upper rim runs the Bulgarian inscription “СЕПТЕМВРИЙСКО АНТИФАШИСТКО ВЪСТАНИЕ,” while the date “1923” appears clearly at the bottom, anchoring the scene to the historic event.

The obverse features the emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria: a crowned lion within a wreath of wheat ears, topped by a five-pointed star. Beneath the emblem is the date range “681–1944,” symbolizing Bulgarian statehood in the context used at the time. Around the rim is the inscription “НАРОДНА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ,” with the denomination written in words as “ПЕТ ЛЕВА” and the mint year “1973” below.

Struck in silver with prooflike deep cameo finish, this coin is certified by PCGS as PR66 DCAM, ensuring exceptional preservation and strong visual contrast. A compelling choice for collectors of Bulgarian history, political themes, and certified silver issues.
