| Additional information |
Bulgaria's communist-era small denomination coinage was produced in enormous quantities throughout the 1970s and 1980s, largely by the Kremnica Mint in Czechoslovakia alongside domestic Bulgarian production. The long date range of this type reflects the political stability — or rather, the stagnation — of Todor Zhivkov's final decades in power, during which monetary policy changed little. Zhivkov was deposed in November 1989 after 35 years, and production of this type ceased the following year as Bulgaria moved toward a multiparty system.
