Historical significance
This 5 Stotinki coin from 2000 is part of the second series of Bulgarian 'new' levs (currency introduced after the redenomination in 1999). This series replaced the hyperinflated old levs, marking a period of economic stabilization for Bulgaria as it moved towards closer integration with the European Union. These coins were everyday circulation currency.
Estimated value
In circulated condition, typically very low, often less than $1 USD. Its value is primarily its face value as currency or as a common collectible for world coin enthusiasts. Uncirculated examples might fetch slightly more, but still under $5 USD.
Care & preservation
To preserve its condition, handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a non-PVC coin holder, flip, or album designed for coin collecting. Avoid cleaning it, as improper cleaning can damage the coin's surface and significantly reduce any potential numismatic value.
