Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Ferdinand I, the first monarch of the Third Bulgarian State, who ruled from 1887 to 1918. The coin was minted during his reign, and it's interesting to note that Ferdinand I was a member of the German royal family, and his rule marked the beginning of a period of close ties between Bulgaria and Germany. This historical connection is still visible today, as the coin's design features elements of Germanic influence, such as the use of the Latin alphabet and the depiction of Ferdinand I in a traditional Germanic monarchical attire.
