| Reverse description | The denomination 5 СТОТИНКИ is inscribed in the upper field in two lines, with the four-digit date centered below. The numeral and legend are framed by a laurel wreath encircling the lower and lateral portions of the design, with the branches tied at the base. The composition is contained within a beaded inner circle and a plain outer rim, presenting a clean, typographic arrangement characteristic of late 19th- and early 20th-century Bulgarian coinage. |

| Additional information |
Bulgaria's small-denomination coinage of this period was struck almost entirely at the Kremnica Mint in Hungary — a pragmatic arrangement for a young kingdom still building state infrastructure after full independence from Ottoman suzerainty was formalized in 1908. The Schön 24.1 and 24.2 varieties reflect a lettering modification made mid-series, a minor but catalogued distinction that occasionally catches collectors off guard when attributing by reference number alone.
