MEDIEVAL BULGARIAN REFERENCE

  Regarding the query for a reference on Medieval Bulgarian
  coinage, Jess Gaylor found a reference to: "A catalogue of
  Bulgarian medieval coins, 9th-15th centuries (Katalog na
  bulgarskite srednovekovni moneti IX-XV vek)  Radoushev,
  A\Zhekov, G( ED) 1999. Sofia, 210x290, b/w photos, b/w
  and colours illus., bibl., In Bulgarian.  Hdb, 251pp.

  Notes:  This book is composed on the basis of numismatic
  material from the largest and fullest private collection of
  medieval Bulgarian coins,  some unique exemplars have been
  added from the historical museums in Sofia, Bucharest,
  Belgrade and Skopje. The degree of rarity of every type of
  coin included in the catalogue is determined by the quantity
  of exemplars known to the numismatic science so far, and
  for those with a larger distribution by their percentage
  content in findings, collections and their presence on the
  market. The degree of rarity is classified in ten levels and can
  be used for determining the price of the concrete exemplar,
  by taking into account its quality. It depends on the degree
  of preservation, the entirety of the inscription, the centering,
  the presence of patina, the silvering and the artistic and
  aesthetic qualities."
