    I once found a nice, nearly Uncirculated example of this type in a world coin bulk lot. Neat coin.

    Appealing design ... except the part below the woman with the sword and the lion. Looks a little strange, as if they first had wanted to put a date or inscription there and then gave the idea up. :)

    Here is a medieval Bulgarian coin I had on my old "Holey Coin Vest". It was a gift from a Collectors Universe member in Bulgaria.
