With the introduction of the euro in 2026, Bulgaria officially became the 21st member of the eurozone and has since introduced its own distinctive euro coins. The design deliberately draws on the traditions of the former lev currency: with Cyrillic script, national symbols and a strong cultural identity. Thus, Bulgaria is one of the few euro countries whose national side of the coin is entirely in a non-Latin script. The 2 euro commemorative coin is fully decorated with 24 carat gold plating. A must-have for all euro collectors - historically significant, unique and culturally important.

The 2026 €2 commemorative coin commemorates Paisios of Hilendarski, a key figure in the Bulgarian National Revival. The coin features his portrait, as well as the Cyrillic name of Bulgaria "БУЛГАРИЯ", an inscription in euros and the year of issue - 2026. Hilendarski (1722–1773) is considered an important chronicler and preserver of Bulgarian cultural identity.
