so how I felt like coin collectors he going today my name is Glenn and today
we're gonna have a look at some Bulgarian coins that we issued before
1916 so Bulgaria actually stopped issuing
silver coins in 1916 and they resumed around about 1930 because of the First
World War a lot of countries stopped issuing silver like Germany Austria I
can't remember did France and France probably did because I need that silver
to pay for war materials the UK never stopped issuing silver they kept issuing
it after the award I had to reduce it so they could pay off their war debt so
here I have a 19-12 never and this was the issue that was issued in 1913 and
1916 as well so 1912 they actually had 1 million coins this coin weighs 10 grams
it's 27 millimeters and the thickness is 1.9 5 millimeter so nearly 2 and on the
side it has the I presume it says Bulgaria kingdom of Bulgaria
I can't read that but anyway on this side it just says burden in the first
side of the Bulgarians and this is a
0.83 5 fine silver so it's 83.5% silver and it actually has
a value of about 4 dollars 35 US cents so it does have some value it's probably
about 6 dollars and it's probably equivalent wait where is it ah here it
is destroying Florin not Florin near Florin
it's just a little bit bigger so this one that's a valuable bit $7 so this is
probably about six and a half dollars Australian and they're easy to get on
eBay because it they very readily available probably at ten twenty dollars
so here I have a 1894 issue and this issue actually has D portrayed or
believe that's written in first as well but it's just a a younger portrait so
this is when he is an older person this is when he's younger person where'd he
ever coin the 1882 version which was the first issue of this coin and has the
kind of arms at the kingdom of Bulgaria so it has the same specifications as
before and B this one there's a mintage of two million at the time the Bulgarian
population was actually quite live it was like I know between 1 or 2 million
in here it just says Bulgaria unity make strength I'm not gonna read the Cyrillic
and it just has the denomination also here sir some freedom below and it has
wheat on either side so it has wheat sticking up here and has some fruit
Danny and a roof down the bottom inside it's just so these these coin ones cuz
they stuck together you have to rip it apart to get the coin out so I'm looking
dear it has lettering on the side as well just means god Siberia so that is a
one-year issue and I didn't know anyone actually just started to put the
portrait on it so this one schon 1894 this one has a mintage all
just 1 million coins so that's on the model on the side it just means God's
sake Bulgaria that's basically it Bulgaria tea eggs so that's basically
clean eat and I have another 1912 so and the previous owners written on it so
extremely fine that was their classification so he ever do nominations
I've got he's do you one liver 1891 you can get a new mister to find it and what
the actual vintages off me ah so there's our five grams because they're half the
denomination of that one 1910 new bar anyone also it's a portrait as you can
see same king but portrait is facing the other way
in each denomination has the portrait facing a different way which helps
distinguish the actual denomination so here's a nineteen twelve fifty stinky
slightly smaller silver coin as you can see it's facing the same way as the tool
ever so nice coin beautiful Bulgarian history the only ice metal coins I got
is due to starting key 1912 and this was actually the last issue of this
denomination because will bought one actually increased prices at this time
so they stopped they would have still been circulated but it just stopped
meeting him this coin as mintage of 40 million so it's actually not a rare coin
in investing nominations just at the Bulgarian line so and then I he 20
stilinski this was issue between 1906 and 1912 in this design also comes in
the 10 in first audience key denominations as well same pretty much
denominations in your 1917 that is shooting zinc
United scones issue de or circulated into the 20s and then they actually
issued new coins in the 1923 because inflation so these ones went out of
youth so 1906 decided mean to drop 10 million mm-hmm it's a coat of arms
and here I have the 1912 as a mean Detroit a mean oh no I'm sorry there was
also 1913 teach so did nineteen six and twelve were minted Accra Myka the 1913
was minted in Austria and these ones are copper nickel they weigh 5 grams 21
millimeters 1.7 millimeters 15 as you can see has no
reading because they weren't really concerned about counterfeiting because
the metal content of this one is a lot less than the face value counterfeiting
would have occurred more likely in silver ones to debase the silver so
these coins are actually the same size or the silver ones as the Latin monetary
union which wearers once part of so he's a Swiss coin 1946 silver and if I look
at Swiss coin gee I think I've got else honest I'm scan the pause video while I
find it okay so here I found it it's a used to the base metal one is pretty
much the same source is a silver one so if we join them to give up these sir
the Swiss coins just slightly bigger because of the reading but these ones
are pretty much the same size confirming they're the same value when they were
silver coins issued in the Latin monetary union so if you don't know
about they let the monetary union I actually have done another video and so
about the people so just look it up we got a Wikipedian read the article
about it it's probably a bit more informative but anyway those are my
early Bulgarian coins I actually haven't tried to collect the everdene ama
nations for a few years so maybe I will start getting on that yeah getting me
high denominations actually be a lot harder
do you 100 lever he's probably virtually impossible to get and it's probably very
expensive anyway few hundred dollars because it's a high denomination but
yeah that is all for my presentation today anyway I like to say thank you
