Bulgaria 1990 10 stotinki

The Kingdom of Bulgaria arose after the weakening of the Ottoman Empire and continued up to World War II. The king at this time, Boris III, chose the Axis side and was deposed by the Communists in 1943 as the Soviet army approached. All coinage post-WWII was for the People's Republic, up to the collapse of the Communist regime in 1989. The coin shown is a ten stotinki, struck in nickel-brass in 1974, 1979-80 and 1989-90. This date was issued after the Communist regime collapsed.
