A new coin.
This Bulgarian 5 Leva silver coin dated 1894 was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand I and represents a mature stage of Bulgarian royal coinage at the end of the 19th century. The piece reflects the country’s growing political stability and its aspiration to align with European monetary and artistic standards.
One side of the coin features a finely executed left-facing portrait of King Ferdinand I. The ruler is shown with carefully modeled facial features, a prominent beard, and a dignified expression that conveys authority and confidence. The hair and beard are rendered with detailed engraving, while the smooth background highlights the realism of the portrait. A beaded rim frames the design, adding structure and balance.
The opposite side displays the denomination and year centered within an ornate wreath composition. Laurel and oak branches rise symmetrically from both sides, symbolizing strength, victory, and endurance. At the base, the branches are tied with an elegant bow, surrounded by floral elements that enrich the overall composition. The relief is strong, with clear separation between leaves, flowers, and central fields, giving the coin a refined and harmonious appearance.
Struck in silver and certified by PCGS as XF Details, this coin shows noticeable circulation wear consistent with its age, while retaining clear design elements and solid eye appeal. A historically important and visually impressive issue, it is an excellent choice for collectors of royal Bulgarian coinage, 19th-century European silver, and certified classic coins.
