One of the first gold coins. There are two types of the Prince Ferdinand I's portrait. Type 1 is with lower relief of the prince's image. Type 2 is identical to the 20 and 100 leva coins of the same issue. The difference is most clearly visible if the prince's hair, cheek or cheek bone is to be treated. Type 2 is much rarer and considerably more valuable than Type 1.

In 1837, Lord Robert Curzon visited the monastery and took the manuscript to England, together with the Vidin Gospel, as a present by the abbot. Until 1917, the Tetraevangelia remained possession of Curzon's family. The Lord's daughter donated it, together with the complete collection of manuscripts and old printed books, to the British Museum in London. The manuscript was transferred to the British Library in 1973 where it is kept today.
