Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was created during a time of great political and economic change in the Second Bulgarian Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Isaac II Angelos, who ruled from 1185 to 1195 and again from 1200 to 1202. During this time, the empire was facing challenges from neighboring powers and was in the process of transitioning from a feudal society to a more centralized and bureaucratic state. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the advanced minting techniques and artistic skills of the time.
