Bulgaria 25 leva Conservation Wildlife Bear Cubs PR64 PCGS silver coin 1989

The Bulgaria 25 Leva 1989 silver coin from the Conservation Wildlife series is a heartfelt tribute to the country’s commitment to protecting its natural heritage. Issued by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria, this coin focuses on wildlife conservation, highlighting the powerful bond between a bear mother and her cubs, a universal symbol of care, strength, and survival in the wild.

The reverse features a finely detailed scene of a standing bear with cubs nestled close, surrounded by natural elements such as grasses, branches, and foliage. The bear’s textured fur, expressive posture, and the soft contrast between polished fields and frosted relief create a vivid, almost sculptural impression. Along the rim runs the Cyrillic inscription dedicated to wildlife protection, reinforcing the conservation theme.

The obverse displays the national emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria with a crowned lion within a wreath of wheat ears, a star above, and a ribbon bearing the dates “681–1944.” Around it are the inscriptions “Народна Република България,” the denomination “25 лева,” and the year 1989, all rendered with crisp precision.

Struck in silver with Proof quality, this example is certified by PCGS as PR64 DCAM, confirming its deep cameo contrast and collectible condition. Part of a popular late-20th-century Bulgarian commemorative program, it appeals to collectors of wildlife, nature, and Eastern European numismatics.
