Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases Ukraine's cultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin features a depiction of a traditional Ukrainian village, complete with wooden churches and houses, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a Ukrainian girl in traditional clothing, surrounded by intricate folk patterns. This design was created by Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchenko and was meant to symbolize the country's rich cultural traditions and history.
