Anmerkungen

Bulgaria's postwar finances in the early 1920s were in serious difficulty. The country had emerged from the First World War on the losing side, and the Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine imposed heavy reparations that strained the government's fiscal position throughout this period. The 500 Leva note of 1922 belongs to a high-denomination issue that reflects the inflationary pressures bearing down on the lev during these years — not yet the hyperinflation that would follow later in the decade, but a clear warning of what was coming.

At 240 × 140 mm, this is a notably large-format note even by the generous standards of the era's printing conventions.
