The city development started in 1784, but a part of the valley where the city is located had been populated from the earliest times.

Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 225th anniversary of the city of Simferopol in Ukraine, and it features an image of the city's historic center on one side and the Ukrainian coat of arms on the other.
