Above are two notes from 1951 the first is a 50 Leva with a peasant landy on the reverse and G Dimitrov (georgi ??) on the front. the other is a 3 leva, the front has a coat of arms to the left and the reverse has hands holding a hammer and sickle.
This one is a 2 leva note from 1962 with the reverse having a picture of a woman picking grapes in a vineyard (not shown)
This part set is from 1974, showing the 1, 5 and 10 Leva notes, the 2 and 20 Leva noes would make the full set .
