Comment
The commemorative coin is dedicated to a rare bird that has become one of the unique symbols of the revival of life in the Chernobyl zone - the black stork. The 30-kilometer exclusion zone and the zone of unconditional resettlement, on the territory of which the Chernobyl Radiation-Ecological Biosphere Reserve has been located since April 26, 2016, have turned into a kind of reserve for the reproduction of not only typical, but also rare Red Book representatives of the animal and plant world, among them the stork black. Thanks to the preservation of the environment in the Chernobyl zone, the bird's population is growing. This indicates the restoration of the region's ecosystem, that the reserve is becoming a center of biodiversity even in conditions of radiation pollution.
