The mint year appears in the lower portion of the field. Two stylised wheat ears flank the central design on either side, their stalks curving inward toward the base. A beaded inner border encircles the entire reverse design. |

| Additional information |
Issued under Todor Zhivkov's People's Republic, this coin series spanned nearly the entire final chapter of Bulgarian communism. The second coat of arms designation distinguishes it from the visually similar earlier type — the heraldic revision came after the 1971 constitution formalized the state's relationship with the Soviet Union, which included the famous, if quietly embarrassing, proposal by Zhivkov himself to absorb Bulgaria as the sixteenth Soviet republic — a suggestion Moscow declined.
