1 Stotinka

Brief Description

The coin features the denomination '1' prominently in the center, with 'СТОТИНКА' (STOTINKA) below it and the year '2000' above 'СТОТИНКА'. The design also includes a circle of stars, typical of modern European coinage, around the rim.

Historical Significance

The 1 Stotinka coin is part of the modern Bulgarian Lev (BGN) currency system, which was redenominated in 1999. This particular coin from 2000 reflects Bulgaria's economic stability efforts and integration within the European financial landscape, even before its accession to the European Union (which occurred in 2007). The Stotinka is the sub-unit of the Bulgarian Lev, similar to cents for the dollar.

Estimated Value

Very low, typically face value or slightly above for uncirculated specimens (around $0.01 - $0.25 USD). It is a common circulating coin.

Care Instructions

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in an acid-free coin holder or album. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing, as this can damage the coin's surface and reduce any numismatic value.
