Frequently asked questions
What periods of Bulgarian banknotes are represented in this shop’s catalog?
This Bulgaria category spans dated examples from 1947 to 2005. Represented periods include notes dated 1947, 1951, 1962, 1974, the early 1990s, 1999 and 2005. Examples range from Pick 74a through Pick 115b, although the sequence is not continuous. The catalog should therefore be viewed as a selection of Bulgarian banknotes rather than a complete record of every note issued by Bulgaria.
Which denominations and notable groups appear in the Bulgaria category?
The represented denominations run from 1 lev to 500 leva. They include 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 500 leva. A particularly coherent group is the 1951 series represented by Pick 81a–87a, covering 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 leva. Other groups include selected 1974 notes and denominations dated from 1991 to 1993.
How can I identify a Bulgarian banknote using the catalog references?
Compare the printed denomination and stated date with the Pick reference in the product title or model. For example, the catalog identifies the 1951 3 leva as P81a, the 1974 1 lev as P93a, the 1993 100 leva as P102b and the 2005 2 leva as P115b. The suffix matters: references such as P81a, P102b and P115b identify specific catalog variants, so it should be recorded rather than omitted.
How are grades and image types distinguished in these Bulgarian listings?
Read the full title, model and description together. Some Bulgarian notes are explicitly marked UNC or XF; the model may also use the grade label EBC for an XF-titled listing. Many records explain that images used for uncirculated banknotes are reference images, meaning the delivered note’s serial number will differ. By contrast, the description for the 1974 P93a 1 lev XF states that the banknote corresponds with the image.
What should a buyer check before choosing a Bulgarian banknote?
Check the date, denomination, Pick number, suffix and stated grade rather than relying only on the design shown. This is especially important where similar denominations occur in different years or where one reference has separate presentations. Buyers should also review the image note: many uncirculated listings use representative photographs and do not promise the pictured serial number. If the exact photographed note matters, look for an explicit statement that the banknote corresponds with the image.
What is distinctive about the 1951 Bulgarian group in this catalog?
The 1951 material forms the broadest consecutive Pick-reference group represented here. Individual listings cover P81a through P87a: 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 leva. The same run is also represented as a set under P81a–P87a. In addition, the 25 leva P84a appears in a separate XF-titled listing, giving collectors a grade-specific option to distinguish from the standard P84a catalog record.
