This commemorative coin conveys the idea of the issue through symbols, relief and an expressive composition that is a pleasure to examine. The subject and design details underscore the theme: dedicated to the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast as part of the single state space of Ukraine and to the region’s significant contribution to the defense, resilience and development of the state. The coin belongs to the thematic series of circulating commemorative coins "We Are Strong. We Are Together," dedicated to the indivisibility of Ukraine, its spiritual unity and the heroic resistance of every region, and is full legal tender.
Obverse
The obverse is built as a coherent stage design, where state emblems set the official tone of the issue. The obverse is fully identical to that of the circulating 10-hryvnia coin of the 2018 pattern: at the top is the Small State Coat of Arms of Ukraine, and at the center, framed by an Old Rus ornament, are the inscriptions UKRAINE / 10 / HRYVNIAS (in a semicircle); against the ornament are the year of minting 2026 (below) and the logo of the Banknote and Coin Mint of the National Bank of Ukraine (on the right). Careful relief and balanced fields lend the piece collector-grade expressiveness. The state emblem sets an official tone within the composition and balances the decorative elements.
Reverse
The reverse reveals the main image of the issue in expressive relief and a spare composition. Against a mirror background it depicts a stylized map of Ukraine with clearly outlined administrative borders. On the map, against a matte background contrasting with the rest of the image, the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast is singled out as part of the single state space. Careful relief and balanced fields lend the piece collector-grade expressiveness. In the texture of the field, relief transitions are visible: from fine strokes to deeper plateaus that beautifully catch the light as the coin is turned.
Historical context
The coin’s subject is tied to an event or image important to Ukrainian memory. The thematic series "We Are Strong. We Are Together" was launched in 2025; at its heart lies the theme of human labor, endurance, unity and mutual aid, and each issue portrays Ukraine through the stories of its regions and people. During the full-scale war, the Dnipropetrovsk region became an important center of support for the population, business and the military, as well as a major logistics and industrial hub behind the front. Earlier issues in the series were dedicated to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Kherson, Sumy, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa and Kirovohrad regions. Such issues become little "time capsules": they preserve the emotion of the moment, a cultural marker and recognizable symbolism for future generations. A fitting gift and a warm accent for any collection. It fits a collection well and looks festive in a case.
