The commemorative coin of 10 leva is made of pure silver, with partial gold plating. Its circulation is limited - only 3,000 pieces. That is why everyone could buy only one. The coin was sold at the BNB cash desks in Sofia, Bourgas, Varna, Pleven and Plovdiv for a price of 66 BGN.
In addition, the central bank BNB also issued a new edition of BGN 2 coin to the circulation, with a total of 500,000 pieces. It carries the logo of the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU. The BNB stressed that other issuаnces of BGN 2 coin also remain legal tender.
