| RELATED COIN DETAILS |
| One of the most beautiful Bulgarian coins in recent years. Compared with other Bulgarian gold plated coins this is the first one to sport a .925 silver content, while the rest have traditionally had a .999 silver content. This is the very first time when the number 10 showing the nominal value of the coin nicely crosses into the gilded ring of the coin. Similar old Bulgarian style font has been used only once before in a Bulgarian coin, namely the 2004 "St. Nicolas - the Wonderworker". The details of the coin are remarkable. We think that this coin will make a great addition to any collection.
