Comment
The commemorative coin is dedicated to the archangel, who is one of the most revered biblical characters and is referred to as the chief commander-in-chief. Archangel Michael is a constant fighter against the forces of evil, defender of faith, patron of soldiers who fight for a righteous cause and protect good. Reverence towards arch-strategist Michael has been preserved from the times of the Grand Dukes to the present day - he became a symbol of the heavenly protection of the power of the Kiev princes, later this respect was recorded not only toponymically - in the names of church buildings, but also heraldically - on the coats of arms of Kyiv, Kyiv Voivodeship, and Kyiv Governorate. Today, his image is present in the attributes of Ukrainian paratroopers and once again represents the fight against the forces of evil.
