Sofia. The Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) will release a new coin in circulation from next year in honor of Bulgaria’s EU accession, the Pari daily reads.

The head of the new coin will depict the 12 stars of Europe. The tail will have a book on the background of a column of the old Bulgarian capital Preslav. The same column will be depicted on an anniversary silver coin called Bulgaria in EU.

Pictures of the two coins, and some info (in English) about mintage, alloy, etc., are here:

So there will be ...

* a silver coin with a face value of 1.95583 leva (the Bulgarian currency is tied to the euro, and that amount is €1), available in proof only;

* the circulating commem (face value 50 stotinki).
