Authentic Medieval Bulgarian Silver Grosch Reign of Tsar Ivan Alexander (1331–1371 AD)

Travel back nearly 700 years with this remarkable silver coin from the Second Bulgarian Empire.

Struck during the reign of Tsar Ivan Alexander, one of medieval Bulgaria's greatest rulers, this hammered silver AR grosh beautifully reflects the deep Christian faith that shaped the kingdom.

Obverse: Standing figure of Christ, blessing the faithful.

Reverse: Tsar Ivan Alexander standing alongside St. Michael the Archangel, symbolizing the union of earthly kingship under God's protection and the heavenly defense of the Christian realm. 

This type is cataloged in Metcalf's Coins of South-East Europe (Plate 8, No. 11, variant). 

Age: Approximately 650–690 years old

Hand-struck: Each example is unique due to medieval minting techniques.

This is far more than an old coin—it is a tangible witness to medieval Christian Europe, struck during an era when rulers boldly placed the image of Christ upon their currency as a public profession of faith.
