Background & history
This note belongs to the First Lev series issued by the Bulgarian National Bank in 1991 following the collapse of communist rule and Bulgaria's transition to democracy. Printed in 1991, it circulated during a period of significant economic transformation and hyperinflation. The series was replaced in 1999 when Bulgaria redenominated its currency at a rate of 1,000:1 old leva to new leva due to severe inflation. The 20 leva denomination features medieval Bulgarian history, specifically imagery from the Boyana Church, emphasizing national heritage and cultural continuity.
