Bulgaria's Euro Coins Feature Saint, Monk, Rock Art

Bulgaria is starting to use the euro, the same money used in many other European countries.

Their new coins have special pictures on them.

The smaller coins show a big rock carving called the Madara Rider, which is very old and shows a knight fighting a lion.

The one-euro coin has a picture of Saint John of Rila, a very important saint in Bulgaria who lived a long time ago.

The two-euro coin shows a monk named Paisius of Hilandar, who wrote an important book.

Around the edge of the two-euro coin, it says 'God protect Bulgaria'.

These pictures are also on Bulgaria's old money, called the lev.

The rock carving is so special that it's protected by UNESCO, which is a group that helps protect important places around the world.
