Comment

Commemorative coin is dedicated to Larix Polonica Racib (Pinaceae family), a disappearing species of valuable conifer wood which is widespread in Ukrainian Carpathians and on the endangered-species list of Ukraine. Larix Polonica Racib is cultivated in forests, parks and botanical gardens, in particular, in Kedrynskyi and Skyt Maniavskyi forest reserves

Interesting fact

The Larix Polonica coin, issued in 2001, features a unique design that showcases the beauty of the Polish larix, a deciduous coniferous tree commonly found in Eastern Europe. The coin's obverse side features a stylized image of the tree's branches and leaves, while the reverse side bears the coin's denomination and the Ukrainian coat of arms. The use of nickel brass (also known as German silver) gives the coin a distinctive silver-like appearance that adds to its aesthetic appeal.
