One Lev 1916, Coin from Bulgaria - detailed information
One Lev 1916, Coin from Bulgaria (demonetised 1952)
| |||||||||
The edge of the coin carries the inscription "БОЖЕ ПАЗИ БЪЛГАРИЯ" - God Save Bulgaria. The 1916 issue of Bulgarian coins was never released into circulation. It was all supposed to have been remelted; however, an unknown (but very small) number of coins have made it into the market. According to the Bulgarian National Bank, around 50 examples are thought to have survived. Collectors should beware of forgeries. | |||||||||
