The Bulgarian National Bank will put into circulation a commemorative coin marking the 150th anniversary of the birth of Krastyo Sarafov.


The collector coin is part of the “Bulgarian Artists” series and has a face value of five euros.
Krastyo Petrov Sarafov (1876–1952) was a prominent Bulgarian theatre actor and the second chairman of the Union of Artists in Bulgaria. The National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts is named after him.


The coin will be released on March 23 (Monday) at a price of 36 euros.


Each customer will be able to purchase only one coin from BNB cash desks, regardless of whether the purchase is made on their own behalf.
