Comment
This coin celebrates the Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood, a Ukrainian clandestine organization that was founded in Kyiv in late 1845, marking the rise of the national and Panslavic movements. The brotherhood played an important role in the development of national, political and historical thought and the formation of the Ukrainian idea. Among the leading members of the brotherhood were Mykola Kostomarov, Panteleimon Kulish, Taras Shevchenko, Mykola Hulak, Heorhii Andruzkyi and Vasyl Bilozerskyi.Interesting fact
The Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it's not meant to be used as regular currency. Instead, it's a commemorative coin that was issued to honor the 1150th anniversary of the death of Saint Cyril, a Byzantine monk who, along with his brother Methodius, created the Glagolitic alphabet, which was used to translate the Bible and other religious texts into Old Church Slavonic. The coin's design features an image of Cyril and Methodius, as well as the Glagolitic alphabet.
