Historical Significance

This coin belongs to the Bulgarian lev's denomination, specifically 20 Stotinki, which was introduced following the redenomination of the Bulgarian lev in 1999. This period marked a significant economic reform in Bulgaria, aiming to stabilize the national currency after a period of high inflation. The redenomination involved replacing 1,000 old leva with 1 new lev, and these coins were part of the new series of circulating currency.

Estimated Value

Very low, typically worth its face value or a few cents (USD/EUR) for uncirculated pieces.

Care Instructions

Handle by the edges to prevent oils from skin from damaging the surface. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a non-PVC coin holder or album. Avoid cleaning, as this can devalue the coin.
