<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zantetsuken, post: 741039, member: 21665&quot;]Another formidable power in the Balkans was the <b>BULGARIAN EMPIRE</b>. Bulgaria stood as an empire twice in their history. The first empire lasted from 632-1018 AD when it was overrun by the Byzantine Empire. The Bulgarian Empire was restored in 1186 AD (sometimes referred to as the Second Bulgarian Empire) and would reign, next to Serbia, as a major power in Southeastern Europe until 1396 AD, when they were conquered by the Ottoman Empire. The following specimen is a silver Groschen issued during the reign of Tsar: Ivan Asen I 1189-1196 AD. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/samuraisedge/BulgariaARGroschen1186-1196AD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>BULGARIAN EMPIRE (SECOND)~AR Groschen 1189-1196 AD</b></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
