The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) put into circulation on Aug.
On August 24, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) introduced a silver commemorative coin to mark the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence. The coin carries a face value of UAH 20. In selecting the design, the central bank opted for a shield, symbolizing the nation's resilience despite facing challenges, according to NBU Governor Andriy Pyshnyy during the coin's unveiling at the Verkhovna Rada.
The coin belongs to the Ukrainian State series and is crafted from 925 sterling silver, weighing 62.2 grams, with special uncirculated minting quality and a patina finish. On the obverse, a soldier's hand clutches a shield, accompanied by a child's drawing serving as a talisman for protection. The coin's edge features the inscription "35 YEARS OF FIGHTING FOR THE FUTURE."
The reverse side showcases a damaged shield, representing Ukraine's struggle for freedom and independence. Artist Andriy Sahach created the coin's design. Up to 5,000 coins will be minted. The NBU will sell the coin through its online numismatic products store and distributor banks, with sales scheduled to begin announced on their official websites.
