Commemorative 5 Leva coin minted in 1979 by the People's Republic of Bulgaria to celebrate the centenary of Bulgarian national postal and telecommunications services. The obverse features a stylized telecom tower surrounded by concentric waves symbolizing the transmission of information and the development of modern communications, accompanied by the commemorative inscription and the dates 1879-1979. The design reflects the technological progress achieved by the country during the century since the creation of the national postal and telecommunications services.
