Interesting fact
The 20 Stotinki coin from Bulgaria, which was in circulation from 1974 to 1990, features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin bears the second coat of arms of Bulgaria, which was adopted in 1971 and features a lion standing on a shield with the Bulgarian flag. The lion is surrounded by a wreath of wheat ears and a ribbon with the motto "Unity, Strength, and Progress" written in Bulgarian. This design was used on several other Bulgarian coins during this period, but the 20 Stotinki coin is particularly notable for its copper-nickel composition and relatively low weight of 3.1 grams.
