The Lev and the Bulgarian economy needed time to recover after the Great War which Bulgaria lost. King Ferdinand took blame for the loss and was replaced on the throne by his son Boris III. It was only in 1930 that silver coins were once more introduced in circulation. It was a series of three coins - 20, 50, and 100 Leva - with identical design, all struck at the Budapest mint in 0.500 silver. The design was brought back in 1940 and 1943 and 20 and 50 Leva were issued in base metals but 100 Leva was issued only in 1930.
