 The idea about the fortified walls on the reverse of the coins, which concerns us, must be taken from the Byzantine ...
From all the Bulgarian kings, who had minted coins, only the names of Mikhail II Asen, Mikhail Shishman and Mikhail, the son of Ivan Alexander, who has ruled with his father and who is imaged on his coins, begin with the letter M so this means that one of those three has minted this coins.
Mikhail Shishman mints these coins probably with political purpose, after his wife Neda, the sister of Urosha III, was driven away in the year 1324, and after married to Teodora, the sister of Andronik junior, and widow of king Svetoslav.

 Jews in Bulgaria
She was tzaritza Sarah, mother of the last Bulgarian ruler in the Middle Ages - Ivan Shishman (1371-1396).
There is no evidence of either Ivan Alexander's marriage, or the enthronement of the "Jewish" Shishman to have provoked any outrages on the part of the Bulgarian society.
Thus, for example, tzar Ivan Shishman's contemporary, the Polish king Kazimierz III (grandson of a Bulgarian princess, as a matter of fact!), was anathematized by the Pope "only" because he had a Jewish concubine.

Tsar Ivan Shishman, son of Tsar Ivan Alexander, was the ruler of the Turnovo Kingdom.
Late 14th century was the period of Bulgaria shreded into smaller kingdoms and counties, which made it weaker and more accessible to the incoming invasion of the Ottoman Turks (they invaded Turnovo in 1393, and the whole of Bulgaria in 1396).
The most probable seems the information of the Bulgarian Anonymous Chronicles from the 15th century, according to which Tsar Ivan Shishman was decapitated near Nikopol on June 3rd, 1395.

Thanks to Shishman, St. Joseph Capital Bank and the Indiana Certified Statewide Development Corp., which works with lenders to provide the 504 financing, Hull was able to buy the 10,500-square-foot building earlier this year.
It's one more lending tool available to meet the thriving commercial loan demand in the Elkhart market, said Shishman, who is vice president, corporate and institutional banking at St. Joseph Capital Bank.
Shishman called the current commercial loan demand "good but not as good as it has been the last couple of years." RV manufacturers and suppliers are doing well, as are distribution companies, he said.

Tsar Ivan Shishman even declared himself vassal to Murad in 1371 before the Ottomans captured him and subjugated the Bulgarian Empire.
As far as Tsar Ivan Shishman's policy is concerned, he allied in 1364 with the Ottoman Turks temporarily against the Hungarians of Pope Urban V and his mortal enemy Byzantium.
As far as the Bulgarian dependence on the Russian Empire and the USSR is concerned, I think that is would be quite appropriate to regard this period as a part of the pro- and anti-Russia specifics of the Bulgarian foreign policy decision making.

As far as Tsar Ivan Shishman's policy is concerned, in 1364 he allied himself with the Ottoman Turks temporarily against the Hungarians of Pope Urban V and his mortal enemy Byzantium.
Unfortunately, Ivan Shishman "had seen the branch, but he did not mention the wood." As far as Bulgarian dependence on the Russian Empire and the USSR is concerned, I think that it would be quite appropriate to regard this period as a part of the pro- and anti-Russia specifics of Bulgarian foreign policy decision-making.
