50 Stotinki

Brief Description

The coin features a large '50' with 'СТОТИНКИ' (Stotinki) written below it, and the year '1999' centered within the '0' of the 50. The design is encircled by stars along the rim.

Historical Significance

This coin was issued after Bulgaria's currency reform in 1999, which introduced a new series of coins and banknotes following a period of high inflation. The new series re-denominated the Bulgarian Lev.

Estimated Value

Approximately $0.50 - $2.00 USD, depending on condition and collector demand. As a common modern circulation coin, its numismatic value is generally low unless it is in uncirculated condition or has a rare error.

Care Instructions

To preserve the coin, handle it by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a non-PVC coin flip, slab, or album. Do not clean the coin, as cleaning can damage its surface and significantly reduce its numismatic value.
