Interesting fact

The 25 Stotinki coin from Bulgaria, minted in 1951, was the first coin to feature the image of a Bulgarian ruler, King Boris III, on its obverse side. This was a significant departure from the previous designs of Bulgarian coins, which had typically featured generic images or symbols. The inclusion of King Boris III's image on the coin was seen as a way to promote national pride and identity, and it marked a turning point in the history of Bulgarian numismatics.
