Coins of Ukraine are not just a means of payment. Since 1995, the National Bank has been issuing hundreds of commemorative and collectible series: dedicated to history, nature, architecture, prominent personalities, and cultural heritage. Some of them are minted in a circulation of several thousand pieces and quickly disappear from sale. Others are simple circulation coins that most people do not even look at carefully. And in vain: among them there are specimens that have long been out of circulation and have become scarce.
Why Ukrainian coins are worth the attention of a collector
Commemorative coins of Ukraine are distinguished by the quality of workmanship and thoughtful design. The gold and silver series of the NBU have repeatedly received international awards as the most beautiful coins in the world. Rare coins of Ukraine of early issues — especially the 1990s and early 2000s — today cost many times more than their face value simply because of the low number of surviving coins. Add to this the unique themes — the Cossack era, Trypillya culture, Chernobyl, the modern army — and it becomes clear why collectible coins of Ukraine have their loyal collectors all over the world.
In this category — reviews of specific issues, selections of the most interesting series, facts about Ukrainian coins that will surprise even an experienced numismatist, and practical tips on finding and evaluating.
