Twelve five-pointed stars are arranged around the inner border, evoking the European Union motif. The word EURO is inscribed in prominent raised letters arcing across the upper field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Madara Rider is a large rock relief carved into a cliff face in northeastern Bulgaria, dating to around 710 AD and attributed to the early Bulgarian khans. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Bulgaria issued numerous commemorative silver pieces featuring this image across the 1990s, a period when the country was cycling through severe monetary instability — the lev collapsed catastrophically in 1996–97, triggering hyperinflation that briefly pushed the exchange rate past 3,000 leva to the dollar before a currency board was imposed in mid-1997.
The 10,000-leva denomination is a direct artifact of that crisis.
