Bulgaria 1882 30 Stotinki Coat of Arms

Bulgaria · 1882 · 30 Stotinki

This definitive stamp features the Bulgarian coat of arms, a crowned lion rampant, enclosed within an ornate circular frame. The denomination '30' is prominently displayed in numerals at the top corners, with the currency 'СТОТИНКИ' inscribed below the central design. This issue is part of the second definitive series of the Principality of Bulgaria.

Issued just a few years after Bulgaria regained autonomy from the Ottoman Empire in 1878, this stamp was a symbol of national identity and sovereignty for the newly established Principality.
