The National Bank of Bulgaria has updated the very complete catalog of more than 200 sheets in PDF format that it has posted on its website, in this it takes a tour of all the coins that have been issued between 1879 and 2020. It is a magnificent reference work that I recommend downloading and saving.
The Bulgarian National Bank and its Mint
The Bulgarian National Bank was established in 1879 and, the following year, the Second Ordinary National Assembly voted the Mining Rights Law, granting the state exclusive rights to put coins into circulation. The law also established the Lev as the national currency, dividing it into one hundred stotinki. It was inspired by the Latin Monetary Union, with the adoption of three types of currencies: copper, silver and gold.
The first Bulgarian coins were minted in England: two, five and ten stotinki in copper. The one and two lev silver coins were minted in Russia in 1882, and the first gold coins (10, 20 and 100 lev) arrived in 1894. The Principality Coin Act of 1897 declared the gold lev as the unit monetary. In various historical periods dependent on the issuing institution, the BNB, as an independent institution or as part of the Ministry of Finance, placed issues of Bulgarian coins in recognized countries of Europe: Russia, Great Britain, Austria-Hungary, France, Belgium, Germany or Yugoslavia.
The founding of the Bulgarian Mint in 1952 relaunched its own minting: the first exchange coin; and later, from 1965, of commemorative subjects. BNB uses a variety of metals and alloys for coins: gold, silver, platinum, aluminum, copper / nickel, iron, etc.
In their own way, Bulgarian coins celebrate the times when they were minted and used as a means of payment. A mirror of the national economic and historical development, preserving a trace of the culture and heritage of the nation.
