Bulgaria. Commemorative Medal for the 1300th Anniversary of the Bulgarian State
The Commemorative Medal for the 1300th Anniversary of the Bulgarian State (Медал „1300 години България“) was established on 16 October 1981 by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria to commemorate thirteen centuries of Bulgarian statehood, traditionally dated to AD 681. It was awarded to distinguished Bulgarian and foreign citizens and formed part of the national commemorations held in 1981.
The obverse features a composition associated with Bulgarian history and national identity. The reverse bears the Cyrillic inscription „1300 ГОДИНИ БЪЛГАРИЯ“ (“1300 Years of Bulgaria”), accompanied by laurel and oak branches and a star. The medal was designed by Boyan Radoslavov and was discontinued in 1991.
