Bulgaria 20 stotinki Ferdinand I KM-26 MS 64 PCGS CuNi coin 1913

The Bulgaria 20 stotinki 1913 coin is a classic circulation issue of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, minted during the reign of Tsar Ferdinand I and reflecting the confident national symbolism of the pre–First World War era. With a face value of 20 stotinki, this coin represents everyday royal coinage from a formative period in Bulgarian statehood.

The obverse is centered on the crowned Bulgarian coat of arms. A heraldic lion stands rampant on a vertically striped shield, symbolizing strength, courage, and continuity of the Bulgarian state. Above the shield rests a royal crown topped with a cross, emphasizing monarchical authority. Around the central emblem runs the inscription “БЪЛГАРИЯ” together with the national motto “СЪЕДИНЕНИЕТО ПРАВИ СИЛАТА” (Unity Makes Strength), separated by small stars and enclosed within a fine beaded border.

The reverse presents the denomination “20 СТОТИНКИ” prominently, with the date 1913 placed below. The design is framed by an elegant wreath of laurel and oak branches, detailed with leaves, acorns, roses, and a ribbon bow at the bottom, symbols of victory, endurance, and civic virtue. A dotted rim completes the composition.

Struck in copper-nickel and certified MS64 by PCGS, this coin is a well-preserved and attractive example of Bulgarian royal-era circulation, ideal for collectors of European history and monarchic numismatics.
