South Korean Won to Bulgarian Lev

The South Korean won (international symbol: ₩, code: KRW, number: 410) is the currency of South Korea. Pronounced  [wʌn]. The national currency appeared in the country after World War II in 1945.

However, the contemporary won was released in 1962, replacing the hwan which was temporarily used in Korea. The hundredth part of the won - jeon does not exist in the format of a payment tool, and is used only in mathematical accounting. Coins of small denominations of 1 and 5 won are almost out of use.

The Bulgarian lev (international symbol: BNG, code: 975) is the national currency of Bulgaria. The lev is divided into 100 stotinki. Since 2002 the lev has been pegged to the euro at an exchange rate of 1.

95 lev for 1 euro. Bulgaria has not become part of the Eurozone so far and a complete transition to the European single currency has not yet taken place. The image of a lion on Bulgarian currency appeared in the 13th century. The first currency, called the “lion,” emerged in Bulgaria in 1879 and was in circulation in the country until 1952. The contemporary version appeared in 1999 after redenomination at a rate of 1000: 1.
