Comment
This coin celebrates the rule of Princess Olha (945–964), who initiated a new stage in the development of the Old Rus state. Once she ascended to the Kyiv throne, Princess Olha started to conduct successful domestic and foreign policies, strengthening the trade and political ties of Kyiv Rus, and contributing to a rise in the state’s international prestige. She continued to maintain friendly relations with Byzantium, and was baptized in the empire’s main cathedral – Hagia Sophia.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique gilding technique, known as "local gilding," which involves applying a thin layer of gold to specific areas of the coin's design, creating a striking contrast between the silver and gold elements.
