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 addition of a swastika on the reverse side. This makes the coin a unique and interesting piece of history, as it reflects the complex political landscape of Eastern Europe during the war.
