Bulgaria 10 leva Troyan Monastery Church Virgin Mary PR68 PCGS silver coin 2014

The 2014 Bulgaria 10 Leva “Troyan Monastery – Virgin Mary” coin pays tribute to one of the country’s most revered spiritual centers. The obverse presents an intricate architectural panorama of the Troyan Monastery, showing its multi-level complex, domed church, towers, roofs, and surrounding mountainous landscape. The inscriptions “ТРОЯНСКИ МАНАСТИР” and “УСЛЕНИЕ БОГОРОДИЧНО” encircle the design, emphasizing the monastery’s dedication to the Dormition of the Virgin Mary.

On the reverse, the coin features a finely engraved icon of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, both shown with radiant halos and traditional folds of vestments. To the right stand the inscriptions 10 ЛЕВА, the year 2014, the emblem of Bulgaria with crowned shield and two lions, and the text “БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА БАНКА.” The deep black proof field heightens the contrast with the silver relief, giving the image a devotional glow.

This commemorative issue honors Bulgaria’s Orthodox heritage and one of its most significant monastic institutions, known for centuries of craftsmanship, iconography, and pilgrimage tradition. Struck in silver in refined Proof finish and graded PCGS PR68DCAM, it is a meaningful acquisition for collectors of religious and historical numismatics.
