Comment
This coin commemorates the romanticist poet Mykhailo Petrenko (1817 - 1862), who created most of his poems in the first half of the 19th century. Although many of his works are now lost, his surviving poem "I'm looking at High Skies" is well-known. Verses from his other works have come down to us in folk songs. These include "Waves are rising on the Oskol River" and "I Would Take a Bandura".Interesting fact
The Mykhailo Petrenko 2 Hryvni coin from Ukraine features an image of a traditional Ukrainian folk instrument, the bandura, on its reverse side. The bandura is a stringed instrument that has been a significant part of Ukrainian culture for centuries, and its inclusion on the coin highlights the country's rich cultural heritage.
