Information about legend: ФЕРДИНАНДЪ I. БЪЛГАРСКИЙ КНЯЗЪ
ФЕРДИНАНДЪ I. БЪЛГАРСКИЙ КНЯЗЪ (1894 - 1894)
| Legend | ФЕРДИНАНДЪ I. БЪЛГАРСКИЙ КНЯЗЪ |
|---|---|
| Translation | From Bulgarian, old orthography: Ferdinand the First, Bulgarian Prince. |
|
This style of the monarch's legend was only used in 1894. On earlier coins, the legend was rendered as ФЕРДИНАНДЪ I. КНЯЗЪ БЪЛГАРСКИЙ - same meaning, with the words ordered differently. Bulgaria was a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire at the time, which is why Ferdinand I was styled a "prince". In 1908, the country declared independence so on later coinage his style was ФЕРДИНАНДЪ I ЦАРЬ НА БЪЛГАРИТѢ - King of the Bulgarians. The monarch's personal legend was only displayed on coins of higher denominations which have his effigy. The lower denominations have the Coat of Arms instead. | |
