Bulgaria 1909 Pictorial Issue, Tsar Ferdinand I

Bulgaria · 1909 · 50 Stotinki

This stamp features a left-facing portrait of Tsar Ferdinand I of Bulgaria, set within an ornate, rectangular frame. The denomination '50' is displayed in the lower corners, with the Cyrillic text 'СТОТИНКИ' (Stotinki) below the portrait. This issue was part of a definitive series celebrating the newly established Kingdom of Bulgaria.

Issued shortly after Bulgaria declared its full independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1908, this stamp series marked the elevation of the principality to a kingdom and Prince Ferdinand I to the title of Tsar.
