Bulgaria issued two 5000 leva notes in the 1990s, P#108 and P#111. According to Bank Note Museum, P#108 was issued in 1996 and P#111 in 1997. However, we have both dates listed for P#108 (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note202241.html). Can anyone confirm the existence of the 1997 P#108? The difference is the presence (P#108) or absence (P#111) of a holographic strip at the left of the obverse.

So are you saying that the 1997 date should be moved from P#108 to P#111? That certainly seems to be correct as I can't find any 1997 notes with the hologram.

Yes, 1997 does not have a hologram and should therfore be listed seperately, I reckon.
