Comment
This coin commemorates Donetsk Oblast, a geographic area that lies in southeastern Ukraine. Ukrainian Cossack settlements appeared in present-day Donetsk Oblast 500 years ago. Later, they formed the Kalmius District of the Lower Zaporozhian Host (located beyond the Dnipro rapids). Donetsk Oblast borders on Zaporizhia and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts in the west, on Kharkiv Oblast in the north-west, and on Luhansk Oblast and Russian Rostov Oblast in the north-east and in the east. In the south, it is surrounded by the Azov Sea. It is a region of industrial and coal production.Interesting fact
