Bulgaria 5 leva Republic 20th Anniversary Dimitrov PR67 PCGS silver coin 1964

The Bulgaria 5 leva commemorative silver coin issued in 1964 marks the 20th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria and honors Georgi Dimitrov, a central political figure in Bulgarian history. Struck in silver with proof quality, this issue reflects both ideological symbolism and refined mid-20th-century numismatic design.

The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Georgi Dimitrov, rendered with smooth relief and precise detail. His facial features, hairline, and composed expression are set against a mirrored background that enhances contrast. Around the portrait runs his name in Cyrillic, accompanied by the dates 1882–1949, marking his lifespan. Small stars separate the dates, and a clean circular rim frames the composition.

The reverse presents a bold, minimalist design centered on the denomination five leva, placed beneath a stylized emblem element. Around the rim is the inscription of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria, with the commemorative dates 1944–1964 highlighting the twentieth anniversary of the republic. The dark mirrored field contrasts with frosted devices, emphasizing the clarity of symbols and inscriptions.

Georgi Dimitrov was a prominent statesman and international political figure, closely associated with the establishment of the People’s Republic. Certified by PCGS in PR67 DCAM condition, this coin is a strong addition for collectors focused on political history, Cold War-era issues, and Bulgarian commemorative silver.
