Comment
this currency was minted according to the standards of the Latin Union at a rate of one Franc per Lev
Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Ferdinand I, the first king of Bulgaria, on its obverse side. However, the coin was actually minted in 1910, a year before Ferdinand I ascended to the throne. This means that the coin was minted during a time when Bulgaria was still a principality, and Ferdinand I was still a prince. This makes the coin a rare and interesting piece of history, as it represents a transitional period in Bulgarian politics and monarchism.
