A medal commemorating 100 years of the birth of Peyo Yavorov (1878-1978)

A medal commemorating 100 years of the birth of one of the most distinguished and admired Bulgarian poets, Peyo Yavorov (1878-1978). On the reverse of the medal is imprinted Â“ChirpanÂ”, the home town of the poet. The medal is with a mirror-like finish of the flat service and an opaque relief, with the two jubilee years alongside.

Yavorov is regarded both as the father of modern Bulgarian poetry and as one of its greatest representatives. Most of his works are referred to as masterpieces; his life which ended with suicide is called a love tragedy. YavorovÂ’s poetry inspired a great number of poets, his poems were even made use of as song lyrics.
