Plaque with the Seal of Tsar Ivan Asen II
Size: 19 x 20 cm

This exquisite plaque recreates the seal of one of the greatest Bulgarian rulers – Tsar Ivan Asen II (1218–1241). It is believed that the seal dates back to the period after the glorious victory at the Battle of Klokotnitsa (March 9, 1230), when the Tsar defeated the army of the Epirus despot Theodore Komnenos and annexed his lands to the Bulgarian state. From that moment on, the ruler began to style himself as “Tsar of Bulgarians and Greeks”, highlighting the grandeur and power of the Second Bulgarian Empire.

The golden imperial seals were an integral part of Bulgarian statehood. They were attached to royal charters – the so-called chrysobulls – through which the ruler granted lands, confirmed estates and privileges, regulated the rights of monasteries, and provided commercial benefits to merchants. They symbolized state authority, legitimacy, and continuity.

This plaque is not only a unique souvenir of historical value, but also a wonderful gift for anyone passionate about Bulgarian history, culture, and traditions. It is perfect for collectors, admirers of medieval heritage, or as a stylish decoration for the home or office.

With its aura of prestige and historical dignity, the plaque is also an excellent choice for business and corporate gifts, when you wish to impress partners or guests with a refined gesture carrying the spirit of Bulgaria.

Give the gift of a piece of Medieval Bulgaria’s grandeur!
