Eastern European coins

These two coins have Cyrillic writing, so that narrows it down but I don't know what they say unfortunately. The first is 1930 with a denomination of 5 something.

The second is made in the Soviet style but it looks different than other Soviet coins I have from the 1960s.

Both of them are Bulgarian coins.

 

As for the first one, here is some info about what is depicted on the reverse:

Thanks Siberian Man.

 

Here is a more modern rendition of the image. This is a part of my "Horses" topical set of coins. It's a great design. That 1930 coin you have is a great condition piece Hiddendragon. While they were minted in large numbers, they are a little hard to find in UNC condition nowadays.

I got lucky with this one. I was looking through a huge bin of world coins and the store was about to close and I found this right before I gave up, so I almost missed out.
