    These trachies were issued between 1195 and 1200 in Bulgaria, and were imitating various Byzantine trachies. These are scarcer than the slightly later (and somewhat similar) Latin trachies.
    Bulgaria was a significant European power in the 9th and the 10th century, while fighting with the Byzantine Empire for the control of the Balkans. The Bulgarian state was crushed by a determined Byzantine assault under Basil II in 1018. It was re-established only in 1185.
    This coin is guaranteed to be authentic.
