Bulgaria 1921 Definitive - Lion Rampant

Bulgaria · 1921 · 1 Lev

This definitive stamp features the lesser coat of arms of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, a crowned lion rampant on a shield. The design is framed by an ornate border with the country's name 'БЪЛГАРИЯ' (Bulgaria) in Cyrillic at the top and the denomination '1 ЛЕВЪ' (1 Lev) at the bottom. This classic design was part of a long-running series used for regular postage.

Issued in the aftermath of World War I, this stamp series represents a period of national consolidation for Bulgaria under Tsar Boris III, who had ascended the throne in 1918.
