About this banknote
The Bulgarian National Bank issued the 1 lev banknote in 1962 as part of a currency redenomination that replaced the previous lev at a rate of 10 to 1. This reform aimed to stabilize the national currency and align it more closely with international standards.
The obverse of the banknote features the coat of arms of the People's Republic of Bulgaria on the left, with the denomination "ЕДИН ЛЕВ" (one lev) centrally placed. The reverse depicts the monument on Shipka Peak, commemorating the Battle of Shipka Pass during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878. Printed by the Soviet Union's Goznak, the note measures 105 x 54 mm and was demonetized on December 31, 1996.
