Description of obverse and reverse | The obverse of the coin features, in a gold-plated medallion, a plastic interpretation of a medieval miniature – the death of Tsar Samuil. Underneath there is the logo of the Bulgarian National Bank and the year ‘1879’ inscribed on the ribbon, along with the nominal value of the coin ‘10 ЛЕВА’ (BGN 10) and the year of issue ‘2013’. The inscription ‘БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА БАНКА’ (Bulgarian National Bank) goes in circumference. The reverse features, in an inner ring bounded by a dotted rim, a scene from a medieval miniature – a battle between the Bulgarian and the Byzantine armies. ‘СРЕДНОВЕКОВНИ БЪЛГАРСКИ ВЛАДЕТЕЛИ’ (Medieval Bulgarian Rulers) and ‘ЦАР САМУИЛ’ (Tsar Samuil) are inscribed in circumference along the edge. |
A brief annotation | Samuel (Samuil) appeared on the historical stage at a time of trials for the Bulgarians – during the war with the Byzantine Empire. Samuel took the fate of his land into his hands, conducting an epic struggle with the invaders for over 40 years. He chose Ohrid for his capital, the city having also become the seat of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church Patriarch Damian. Samuel used his exceptional energy and far-sighted-ness to fight against the Byzantine Empire. |

Всегда предпочитал исторические темы на монетах государства, где они происходили. Хоть и примечательного в этом экземпляре немного, за продвижение своей истории - шесть.

Наверно, так оно и выглядело - болгарское средневековье.

Кроме смерти у царя Самуила других заслуг не было? Может стоило другую сцену изобразить?
