Bulgaria 10 leva Turino Olympic Games Shorttrack Skater PR69 PCGS Ag coin 2005

The 2005 Bulgaria 10 Leva “Torino Winter Olympics – Short Track Skater” coin captures the explosive dynamism of one of the fastest winter sports. The obverse presents a sharply detailed athlete in mid-turn, leaning low with an outstretched arm, showcasing the intensity and precision of short-track speed skating. His protective helmet, skates, and aerodynamic posture stand out against the glossy black proof field. Stylized racing arcs form the background, symbolizing movement and the curves of the ice track. Around the rim runs the inscription “ХХ ЗИМНИ ОЛИМПИЙСКИ ИГРИ,” with 2006 displayed below to mark the Torino Olympic Games.

The reverse features Bulgaria’s national coat of arms: two heraldic lions supporting a crowned shield, rendered in bright silver relief. Beneath the emblem sits the ribbon 1879, and around the field appear the inscriptions “БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА БАНКА,” the year 2005, and the denomination 10 ЛЕВА.

Struck in silver to an elegant Proof standard and certified PCGS PR69DCAM, this coin combines athletic energy with national symbolism. It is an excellent addition for collectors of Olympic themes, modern commemoratives, and Bulgarian numismatics.
