Comment
The coin is dedicated to the relic species - the only representative of Potamon Tauricum in the fauna of UkraineInteresting fact
The Freshwater Crab coin, issued in 2000, was part of a series of coins dedicated to the fauna of Ukraine. The coin features an image of a freshwater crab on one side and the Ukrainian coat of arms on the other. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was minted using a unique technique called "splashing," which creates a textured, wavy effect on the coin's surface. This technique was used to give the coin a more lifelike appearance, as if the crab was emerging from the water. The use of this technique, combined with the coin's unique design and limited mintage, makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
