Obverse (shown) — features a portrait of a bearded male figure with inscriptions “ЕВРО 2026” (EURO 2026) on the left and “БЪЛГАРИЯ” (Bulgaria) in Cyrillic on the right. The portrait appears to depict a historical or cultural figure, likely from Bulgarian history or ancient Thrace.
Reverse (standard EU side) — features the numeral “2 EURO” with the EU map and 12 stars.
This is a notably historic coin — Bulgaria adopted the euro on 1 January 2026, making this one of the first Bulgarian euro coins ever issued. Bulgaria had been using the lev since 1881, so this marks a major monetary milestone. The bearded portrait likely represents a significant figure from Bulgarian national heritage.
