Oh I remember these! The 5DM was always my favourite because of the oak leaves and I like green.

And also the 1DM, because of the oak leaves too!

2 lev's. Value is 1 euro. The man is Paisius of Hilendar. Because no drawings came to our days, noone knows how he looked like and the painter decided to draw himself on the banknote. Hmmm...



20 lev's. Stefan Stambolov. Probably, the biggest statesman of Bulgaria. The Western journalists gave him the nickname "The Bulgarian Bismark", he was highly respected in the British Empire and France.
