Obverse

(en) The Madara Horseman (Мадарски конник) — the early medieval rock-relief near Shumen,symbol of Bulgaria, designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. The image shows a mounted rider in right-facing profile, thrusting a spear downward toward a lion beneath the horse’s forelegs. The horse’s posture, the warrior’s garments, and the lion’s lowered form are presented with simplified yet historically accurate relief, faithfully translating the original stone carving into numismatic form. Inscription “БЪЛГАРИЯ” ('Bŭlgariya') on the upper side of the field and “СТОТИНКИ” ('stotinki') at the bottom half of the field.
The year positioned on the right side of the field. Standard twelve EU stars encircle the outer ring.

Comments

(en)

There are two known variants of the coin:

- thick / blurry (likely minted at Bulgarian National Bank)

- thin / sharp (likely minted at Kremnica, Slovakia)

The strikes from Kremnica tend to have a thicker rim and more defined and sharp strikes, while the Sofia strikes tend to have a thin to barely noticeable rim and more undefined and blurry strikes. Grease strikes on the upper half of stars have been noticed on the 2 and 5 Cent coins.
