The coin is dedicated to Vasyl Stus (1938 – 1985), a public figure, translator, literary critic and poet of a tragic fate, whose works are translated into many languages of the world. A tireless fighter for human rights Vasyl Stus was a member (in 1979 – 1980 - a chairman) of the Ukrainian Helsinki group for human rights observation.Interesting fact
The Vasyl Stus 2 Hryvni coin was issued in 2008 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the birth of Vasyl Stus, a Ukrainian poet, writer, and dissident who was imprisoned and later died in a Soviet labor camp. The coin's design features a portrait of Stus on one side and the Ukrainian coat of arms on the other. The use of nickel brass (also known as German silver) for the coin's composition gives it a unique and distinctive appearance.
