| Obverse description | The obverse features the Madara Horseman (Мадарски конник), the celebrated early medieval rock relief carved into a cliff face in northeastern Bulgaria and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rendered as the national symbol of Bulgaria for the euro coinage series. The mounted figure is depicted in profile facing right, with a hunting scene rendered in the style of the original 8th-century relief. The Cyrillic legend БЪЛГАРИЯ (BULGARIA) appears along the upper periphery, with the mint year 2026 positioned in the field. A ring of twelve European Union stars frames the design along the outer border, and the denomination СТОТИНКИ (CENTS) is inscribed within the legend. |

| Additional information |
Bulgaria has been an EU member since 2007 but has not yet adopted the euro. These coins are struck in anticipation of accession, held in reserve rather than released into circulation — a practice common among candidate states that mint transition-ready coinage years before a confirmed changeover date.
