Not in circulation any more. Not old enough to have a meaningful numismatic value.
Apparently, this is a 2000 leva bill. Unfortunately this bill is not in circulation anymore. It was issued between 1994 and 1999. It might be valuable for someone’s collection but I can’t give you details on that.
I never knew we had this btw. On the front – one of our most prominent builders of the 19th century – Nikola Fichev (Kolio ficheto). I am quite fascinate by the huge freemason symbol on it.
On the back – the Holy Trinity church of Svishtov (a beautiful town on the Danube river)
It was probably printed in the 90s during the hyperinflation. There was a 50 000 bill at one point I think,before we entered the currency board and the economy stabilized.
The person on the bill is Nikola “Kolyo” Ficheto who was a famous 19th century architect.
Fun fact about this. My dad got scammed in Czech Republic in the 90s by this bills thinking it was their currency. he has like five of them.
a 2000lv bill from 1996. you can frame it or put it with the saints in your car’s sun visor
I was there…23 years ago.
After 2000 this became 2 leva
The equivalent of 1 EUR nowadays
it’s 2000 levas, not much these days, you can buy a few eggs
bait.
Hi “I m a collector and I have news for you – this Bill is actually worth like 20 US Dollars . The 1994 is worth even more . How many and what years do you have ? Anyways , Good find !
Според вас трябва ли да има 200 500 и 1000 лв банкноти?
This is how money briefly looked when Bulgaria was ruled by BSP+DPS and we had hyperinflation.
This is a note from before the redenomination of the Bulgarian lev in 1999. I was about 6-7 years old at that time and had about 3,000 leva saved. I didn’t get how the whole process would work and I thought I’d be rich, I even wanted to buy a car for my mum. Unfortunately, I didn’t get rich (3,000 leva became 3 leva or about 1.5 euro) at that time but I got to buy my mum a car about 20 years later.
