Comment

This coin celebrates the 150th birth anniversary of Vasyl Stefanyk, a talented Ukrainian modernist, an unsurpassed master of expressionist short stories, a poet, a public figure and a politician. Although all of Stefanyk’s works can be contained in one volume, his name is on a par with the most famous novelists in the world, as his works impress with their exceptional truthfulness, true originality and artistic perfection. “The Blue Book”, a collection of short stories, was an important work in the history of Ukrainian prose. This book, which earned Stefanyk general recognition, received enthusiastic reviews from Ivan Franko, Lesia Ukrainka, Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi and Olha Kobylianska. The writer’s other book, “The Stone Cross”, was regarded as an important literary achievement.
