Bulgaria printed this 10 Leva in the mid-1920s but never released it — the note was rendered obsolete before distribution, most likely by the currency stabilization efforts following Bulgaria's postwar financial reorganization under League of Nations supervision, which restructured the lev and rendered several prepared denominations redundant. The State Printing House in Sofia had the capacity to produce finished notes domestically by this period, but that didn't insulate a print run from being cancelled by monetary policy decisions made above it.
Surviving examples come almost entirely from archival remainders. The Pick NL designation reflects genuine catalog uncertainty — quantity printed, exact issue date within the 1925–1928 window, and destruction records remain incompletely documented.
