The listing, Nice Communist Era 1962 Bulgaria 10 Stotinki Coin! has ended.

Awesome Communist Era 1962 10 Stotinki Nickel-Brass Bulgarian Coin. Please see the following and note that these coins have been withdrawn from circulation which makes them very collectable!
In 1962, aluminum-bronze 1, 2, and 5 stotinki, and nickel-brass 10, 20 and 50 stotinki and 1 lev were introduced. The coin series strongly resembles coinage from the Soviet Union during the same period, particularly in design and size.

The state emblem is depicted on the obverse of all coins, which went through several changes. The first change in 1962 with the introduction of the new coinage, and the second change in 1974, with the ribbons being the most noticeable change.

In 1992, after the demise of communism, older coins were withdrawn and a new coinage was introduced in denominations of 10, 20 and 50 stotinki, 1, 2, 5 and 10 leva. All were struck in nickel-brass except for the cupro-nickel 10 leva.

Because these coins have been withdrawn from circulation, with most having been destroyed, it is important that those left are preserved. All of this makes this coin highly collectable!
