The reverse of the coin displays a portrait of Zahari Stoyanov, with the inscription “175 years since the birth of Zahari Stoyanov” along the top circumference. 

Each client will be able to purchase a single coin from the cash desks of the Bulgarian National Bank, regardless of whether they purchase in their own name and at their own expense or in the name and at the expense of another person. To purchase a coin in the name and at the expense of another person, it is necessary to present a notarised express power of attorney for the purchase of the specific commemorative coin. A client who purchases a coin from the BNB cash desks as a natural person will not have the right to purchase another coin as a representative of a legal entity, and this restriction also applies in the opposite case. Coins are not sold to persons under 18 years of age.

By the end of the working day on April 28, 2025, the new coin will be provided by the BNB to Investbank AD, First Investment Bank AD, Texim Bank AD, Tokuda Bank AD and Central Cooperative Bank AD for sale in their offices and branches.
