Bulgaria 10 Leva 1930
This Bulgaria 1930 10 Leva coin shows "The Madara Horseman", "Krum" in the Cyrillic alphabet, and the date "814".
The "horseman" is a rock relief carved into a vertical cliff face depicting a life-size horseman, a lion, and a dog. It is located in northeast Bulgaria.
Before World War 2, the common belief was that the horseman was Khan Krum who ruled Bulgaria from 804 - 815 AD. In fact, a Bulgarian coin was minted in the 1930's with a picture of the relief credited to Khan Krum.
Many investigations later, a leading Bulgarian archaeologist, Vesilin Besheliev, determined the age of the relief at 705 AD, almost 100 years before Khan Krum.
The wrong king got credit on this coin.
I guess this makes it an "error coin".

I bought another example on Ebay for $3 and received it yesterday (Nov 18 2005).
It is in much better condition than the one I had previously.
I posted it's picture to my website and it should show above.
