The €2 coin features a portrait of Saint Paisius of Hilendar, a key figure of the Bulgarian national revival and author of Istoriya Slavyanobolgarskaya (Slavo-Bulgarian History). The design includes the year of issuance, the inscription “БЪЛГАРИЯ” (the country’s name in Bulgarian) and the word “ЕВРО” (“EURO”) in Cyrillic script.
The inscription “БОЖЕ ПАЗИ БЪЛГАРИЯ” (“GOD PROTECT BULGARIA”) is written twice, both normally and in reverse, around the edge of the coin. (Source: ecb.europa.eu)
