Interesting fact
The coin features an image of King Boris III on one side and the Bulgarian coat of arms on the other. However, the coin was actually minted during World War II, when Bulgaria was under German occupation. As a result, the coin's design was influenced by Nazi Germany's coinage, with the inclusion of the Bulgarian coat of arms and the use of Iron as the material. This makes the coin a unique and interesting piece of history, as it represents a blend of Bulgarian national identity and the influence of foreign powers during a time of conflict.
