Bulgarian Euro coins unveiled - Heritage and national symbols intertwined
The President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, offered the public a first look at Bulgaria’s euro coins through a post on social media. Sharing a photo of the €1 coin, she emphasized that the design chosen by the Bulgarian National Bank maintains continuity with the country’s current coins, while incorporating symbols deeply connected to Bulgaria’s heritage.
"Exciting news for Bulgaria and the euro area! Take a look at the design of Bulgaria's €1 coin. While we will have to wait a little longer to see these coins in circulation, this preview image offers the design chosen by Bulgaria's national central bank. The design maintains continuity with Bulgaria's current coins and features symbols that are deeply rooted in the country's heritage and cherished by its people," Lagarde wrote.
Earlier, in mid-May, the Bulgarian National Bank confirmed that the trial production of 8 million euro coins, one million of each denomination, had begun. The materials and molds for the trial and regular production have also been approved, while the necessary facilities for the exchange process are ready in Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna.
The bank emphasized that the coins are being produced under full technical conditions and with qualified staff, guaranteeing maximum readiness.
The unveiling of the new model and the technical preparations reflect the country's progress towards a smooth transition to the eurozone, combining national heritage with careful logistical planning to support the adoption of the currency.
