| Additional information |
Peyo Yavorov — poet, playwright, revolutionary — died by his own hand in 1914, though Bulgarian courts at the time attempted to prosecute him posthumously for the shooting death of his wife. The 1978 commemorative issue marks the centenary of his birth and was struck during the Zhivkov era, when the communist government selectively rehabilitated pre-war cultural figures whose nationalism could be reframed as proto-socialist struggle. Yavorov's involvement with the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization made him a convenient choice.
