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 which a tour of all the coins that they have issued between 1879 and 2021 is made. It is a magnificent reference work that I recommend you download and save.
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, giving 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. Silver one and two leva coins were minted in Russia in 1882, and the first gold coins (10, 20 and 100 leva) arrived in 1894. The 1897 Principality Coin Law declared the gold leva as the unit monetary. In various historical periods depending on the issuing institution, the BNB, as an independent institution or as part of the Ministry of Finance, placed issues of Bulgarian coins in well-known European countries: Russia, Great Britain, Austria-Hungary, France, Belgium, Germany or Yugoslavia.
The founding of the Bulgarian Mint in 1952 relaunched its own minting: the first currency; and later, from 1965, on commemorative issues. The 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 national economic and historical development, preserving a trace of the nation's culture and heritage.
