Comment
The commemorative coin is dedicated to the ancient monument - Chersonesos Taurica (peninsula of the Tauri in Greek), a city-state on the south-western coast of Crimea established in 422 - 421 B.C. which struck own coins. The history of Chersonesos Taurica is subdivided into two periods: the antique (from the foundation to the 4th century A.D.) and the medieval one (5th-15th centuries). During two millennia, in the period of prosperity of ancient Greece, Rome and Byzantium, Chersonesos was an important commercial and cultural centre on the Crimean peninsula playing a special role in the mutual relations of Byzantium and Kyiv Rus.Interesting fact
