Bulgaria’s central bank to offer its first silver collector’s coin in euro
Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) will on January 26 release into circulation a silver collector’s coin “125 years electric tram in Bulgaria”, the central bank’s first collector’s coin in euro.
Bulgaria adopted the euro as its currency on January 1 2026.
On its release into circulation, the coin will be sold at the price of 144.00 euro (281.64 leva), BNB said in the announcement on its website on January 23.
BNB will be selling the coin at four counters in the central building of the BNB at Sofia, 1, Knyaz Alexander I Square and at four counters at the BNB Cash Centre in Sofia, 10 Mihail Tenev Street.
A client may purchase only one coin at the counters of BNB, regardless of whether on their own behalf and for their own account or on behalf and for the account of another person, the statement said.
A client purchasing a coin on behalf and for the account of another person must present a notarised power of attorney for the purchase of this specific commemorative coin.
If a client, as a natural person, purchases a coin at the BNB counters, that client may not purchase another coin as a representative of a legal entity, and this restriction applies to the opposite case as well.
Coins are not sold to persons under 18 years of age.
By the end of the working day on January 26, BNB will supply quantities of the new coin to Investbank AD, First Investment Bank AD, Texim Bank AD, Tokuda Bank AD, and Central Cooperative Bank AD for sale in their offices and branches and to the Bulgarian mint EAD.
