| Reverse description | Central device comprises the Bulgarian royal coat of arms: a shield bearing a rampant lion on a hatched field, itself charged with the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha inescutcheon, surmounted by the royal crown. The shield is flanked to the left by an olive branch and to the right by a wheat ear, symbolising peace and prosperity. The denomination 20 appears to the left of the shield and ЛЕВА to the right. The minting year 1912 is inscribed below the shield in the lower field, while the commemorative date 22 • СЕПТ • 1908 curves along the lower periphery, referencing Bulgarian independence on 22 September 1908. The legend ЦАРСТВО БЪЛГАРИЯ arcs across the upper field, and the whole design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
