About this banknote

The Bulgarian National Bank issued the 10 leva banknote in 1951, as part of a currency reform that introduced the second lev, replacing the previous lev at a rate of 1 new lev = 100 old leva. This reform aimed to stabilize the economy following post-war inflation.

The obverse of the banknote features a portrait of Georgi Dimitrov on the left and the coat of arms of Bulgaria on the right. The reverse depicts a farm tractor on the right side. The note measures 135 x 70 mm and was printed by Goznak in the USSR. It was in circulation from May 12, 1952, until its withdrawal on March 31, 1962.
