Bulgaria 10 leva Euro Integration Plovdiv City PR65 PCGS silver coin 1999

The Bulgarian 10 Leva 1999 “Euro Integration – Plovdiv” silver coin reflects Bulgaria’s aspirations toward European integration at the turn of the millennium, while celebrating one of its oldest and most culturally rich cities — Plovdiv. Graded PCGS PR65DCAM, this proof coin offers a striking deep cameo contrast, lending great clarity to its architectural details.

The obverse features a panoramic composition of Plovdiv’s historic landmarks. Distinct buildings rise across the scene: classical façades, arched windows, tiled roofs and a tall bell tower, symbolising the city’s layered history from antiquity to the Bulgarian National Revival. In the foreground, stylised geometric pavements lead the viewer’s eye toward the center, adding depth to the design. The inscription EURO appears prominently above the skyline, highlighting Bulgaria’s emerging connection to Europe.

The reverse displays the coat of arms of the Bulgarian National Bank, supported by two heraldic lions beside a crowned shield bearing a stylised lion. Below the emblem lies a ribbon marked 1879–1999, commemorating 120 years of the institution. The inscriptions БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА БАНКА, 1999, and 10 ЛЕВА form a harmonious circular frame.

Struck in silver with a refined proof finish, this coin elegantly unites national heritage and modern European identity — a strong addition for collectors of architectural themes, Bulgarian history and integration-era commemoratives.
