| Reverse description | A female rhythmic gymnast is depicted in dynamic motion at centre, kneeling and arching her body gracefully while manipulating a ribbon, rendered in high relief against a plain field. Behind the figure, the interlocked Olympic rings are shown in the lower central area, symbolising the XXIII Summer Olympic Games. The legend XXIII ЛЕТНИ ОЛИМПИЙСКИ ИГРИ arcs along the upper periphery in Cyrillic script. The entire design is framed by the same decorative chain-link border as the obverse. The composition conveys athletic elegance and is characteristic of Bulgarian commemorative coinage of the period. |
