His calm yet determined expression, carefully modeled facial features, neatly styled hair, and period clothing convey dignity and resolve. The surrounding Cyrillic inscription bears his name, while the smooth mirrored background enhances the sculptural quality of the portrait through strong contrast with the frosted relief.

The year “1987” appears alongside the denomination, while the circular Cyrillic inscription “Народна Република България” frames the composition.

Struck in silver with a Proof Deep Cameo finish, this coin is certified by PCGS as PR68 DCAM, confirming excellent preservation and strong visual appeal. Issued in 1987, it is a powerful collectible tribute to Bulgaria’s national revolutionary heritage.
