NBU Issues New Commemorative Coin to Celebrate Europe Day

Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine Andriy Pushy and Ambassador of the European Union to Ukraine Katarina Mathernová presented the Europe Day commemorative coin, reported the press service of the regulator.

This coin symbolizes the unity of Ukraine and Europe, solidarity in the struggle for democracy and freedom, our shared values, and our aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous future, the statement of the regulator reads.

The coin’s obverse, in the centre, features a stylized trident – a symbol of Ukraine. To the left of the trident is the EU’s official motto United in Diversity. To the right of the trident is a floral ornament that stands for the country’s prosperity and distinctive culture.

The coin’s reverse, against a smooth background, depicts the abbreviations EU and UA, which intertwine, creating a visual symbol of the unity of Ukraine and Europe. The two letters “U” seem to be one, forming the image of a new life that sprouts under the auspices of the European Union. Beneath are the legends of EUROPE DAY, which are surrounded by 12 stars that resemble those on the EU flag.

The nickel silver commemorative coin has a face value of 5 hryvnias.

The coin’s mintage is up to 50,000 units.

The coin was designed by Natalia Fandikova.

As a reminder, on the 38th anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster, the National Bank is putting into circulation a commemorative coin Chornobyl. Revival. Black Stork.
