| Anmerkungen |
Bulgaria's 1999 currency reform was a direct consequence of the catastrophic hyperinflation of 1996–97, when the lev lost roughly 90% of its value in under twelve months and the banking system effectively collapsed. The redenomination, effective July 1999, replaced 1,000 old leva with 1 new lev — this note being among the lowest denominations introduced under that restructured system, pegged via a currency board arrangement to the Deutsche Mark at 1:1.
The Bulgarian National Bank's in-house printing facility in Sofia took over production of this series, an unusual arrangement given that many smaller central banks contract abroad. The hologram strip on this denomination was a deliberate security investment for a note whose face value, even post-redenomination, made counterfeiting barely worthwhile.
