Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is an imitation of the Trachy coin, which was originally issued by Alexius III, the Byzantine Emperor, in the 12th century. The Bulgarian imitation, known as the Trachy of Alexius III - Type C, was produced during the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185-1241) and features a similar design to the original Byzantine coin, but with some notable differences, such as the use of Billon instead of gold or silver. Despite being an imitation, the Bulgarian Trachy coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, offering a glimpse into the economic and cultural exchange between the Byzantine and Bulgarian empires during that time period.
