| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the crowned coat of arms of the Principality of Bulgaria, featuring a rampant lion on a quartered shield supported by two rearing lions as heraldic supporters, surmounted by a royal crown with two flanking flags. The arms are enclosed within a rope-style inner border and surrounded by an outer beaded border. The Cyrillic legend БЪЛГАРИЯ appears along the upper arc, while СЪЕДИНЕНИЕ-ТО ПРАВИ СИЛА-ТА (Unity Makes Strength) runs along the lower arc, separated by two small five-pointed stars. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bulgaria's first silver coinage as an autonomous principality under Russian suzerainty, this 1882 issue was struck at the Saint Petersburg Mint — a politically deliberate choice given that Aleksandr I of Battenberg owed his throne entirely to Russian backing following the 1878 Treaty of Berlin. The relationship would collapse almost immediately: by 1886, Russian officers orchestrated a coup that forced Aleksandr to abdicate, ending the Battenberg line after just eight years.
Relatively low mintage and a short-lived reign make survivors in collectible condition genuinely scarce.
