Bulgaria 100 leva The Radetsky Steam Liner Ship proof silver coin 1992

This 1992 Bulgaria 100 Leva “Radetsky Steamship” proof silver coin honors one of the most iconic symbols of Bulgaria’s national revival — the historic steam liner Radetsky, forever tied to Hristo Botev and the events of 1876. The obverse features a detailed engraving of the ship, complete with its multi-deck structure, paddle wheels, rigging, tall masts and fluttering flag. The inscription „Корабът Радецки“ appears above, while the date 1876 marks the legendary moment when Botev’s detachment boarded the vessel on their path toward the April Uprising. Beneath the bow lies a stylized scroll, symbolizing revolutionary ideals and patriotic determination.

The reverse presents the classic Bulgarian commemorative design: a wreath of roses, buds, leaves and a ribbon, framing the inscriptions „Република България“, 100 Лева, and 1992. The proof finish gives the coin mirror-bright surfaces that contrast beautifully with the frosted reliefs. This piece, distinguished by natural toning and clean strike detail, captures both historical depth and artistic craftsmanship. A meaningful collectible for admirers of Bulgarian heritage, maritime history and world proof silver coins.
