On May 1, 1879, the first Bulgarian postage stamps, called "centimes" at that time, were put into circulation. Their nominal value was 5 centimes, as there was no Bulgarian monetary unit. They depicted a lion with a crown as a symbol of the bravery and struggle of the Bulgarian people for liberation.
