| Additional information |
Bulgaria has been an EU member since 2007 but has repeatedly missed its own target dates for eurozone entry, with accession now formally scheduled for January 1, 2026 — making this coin's issuance date either optimistic planning or a rare instance of a country hitting a self-imposed monetary deadline. The extended delay stemmed largely from inflation criteria Bulgaria struggled to meet consistently through the early 2020s.
