Bulgaria 1000 leva Rozhen Astronomical Observatory PR66 PCGS silver coin 1995

This Bulgaria 1000 Leva silver coin from 1995, certified PCGS PR66DCAM, celebrates one of the nation’s greatest scientific landmarks — the Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory. The reverse depicts its large domed telescope building rising above a stylized landscape of trees, with the observatory presented in crisp architectural detail: the dome segments, observation slit, base structure, and entrance walkway are clearly defined. Above it, the night sky is filled with intricate constellations, star groupings, and dotted celestial paths, creating a rich astronomical panorama. The denomination 1000 Лева appears below, anchoring the composition.

The obverse presents “Република България • Republic of Bulgaria” encircling the central ECU emblem, the year 1995 placed within the intertwined letters. Surrounding stars reinforce the European theme and Bulgaria’s economic and political orientation of that era. The Deep Cameo Proof finish produces sharp contrast, and the PR66 grade attests to strong eye appeal with only minimal imperfections.

A meaningful collectible linking Bulgarian science, astronomy, and numismatic artistry — ideal for advanced collectors seeking historically themed silver issues.
