Interesting fact

The 10 Hryven (Askold) 1999 coin from Ukraine features an image of Askold, a legendary Varangian prince who is believed to have founded the city of Kiev in the 9th century. The coin's design is based on a historic painting of Askold from the 19th century, and it's interesting to note that the image of Askold on the coin is not a realistic depiction of what he would have looked like in real life, but rather an artistic interpretation of his likeness.
