Obverse description	The obverse presents the Bulgarian National Bank monogram at centre, incorporating the founding year '1879' on a ribbon beneath the device. Below the central emblem, the denomination '10 ЛЕВА' is inscribed in bold Cyrillic lettering, followed by the year of issue '2024' in the lower field. The circular legend 'БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА БАНКА' (Bulgarian National Bank) runs along the upper periphery in Cyrillic script. The overall design is rendered in a clean, formal style befitting a modern commemorative issue.

Reverse description	The reverse features a prominent depiction of an open book displaying elements reproduced from the cover of the first edition of the 'Рибен Буквар' (Fish Primer) of 1824, accompanied by an illustration of a whale rendered in a stylised early 19th-century manner. The book occupies the left portion of the field, evoking the original woodcut aesthetic of this seminal Bulgarian educational text. The commemorative legend '200 ГОДИНИ ОТ ИЗДАВАНЕТО НА РИБНИЯ БУКВАР' (200 Years since the Publication of the Fish Primer) arcs around the composition in Cyrillic script. The design honours the bicentenary of one of the earliest printed Bulgarian-language primers, authored by Petar Beron and published in 1824.
