| Obverse description | The Bulgarian state coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a crowned lion rampant on a shield supported by two rampant lions, with the foundational date 1879 inscribed on a scroll below. The legend БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА БАНКА arcs around the upper periphery in Cyrillic characters, while the denomination 5 ЛЕВА and the year of issue 2002 are prominently displayed along the lower field. The design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic composition celebrating artistic gymnastics, depicting a male gymnast performing on the pommel horse in the lower left field, rendered in bold sculptural relief. Behind him, a classically draped female figure — an allegorical representation evoking ancient Greek tradition — is shown in profile holding an olive branch, symbolizing athletic victory. The inscription 1896 · АТИНА · 2004 arcs across the upper portion of the field in Cyrillic characters, referencing both the first modern Olympic Games held in Athens in 1896 and the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics. The polished proof fields provide strong contrast to the finely detailed relief elements. |
