Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) announced Monday it puts in circulation a commemorative coin dedicated to the 100th anniversary since the country's independence proclamation.
The silver coin will be emitted in 5,000 copies as its nominal value is BGN 10 and will be sold for BGN 54.
The artist, who made the design of the coin, is Ivan Todorov.
"Bulgaria has always won and managed to resist outer pressure anytime when its citizens were united in their aims, values and spirit," Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev said during the coin presentation ceremony.
He thanked BNB's head Ivan Iskrov for backing the initiative for spectacularly marking the Independence Day (September 22).
