Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Ferdinand I, the first monarch of the Third Bulgarian State, who ruled from 1887 until his death in 1918. The coin was minted during his reign, and it's interesting to note that Ferdinand I was a member of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha dynasty, which was a royal house that played a significant role in European history. The dynasty was known for its connections to other European royal families, and it's fascinating to see how these historical connections are reflected in the coin's design.
