Comment

The commemorative coin is dedicated to one of the oldest state expert institutions of Ukraine, which began its activity in 1923 as the Cabinet of Scientific Forensic Expertise, the National Scientific Center "Institute of Forensic Expertise named after adv. Prof. M. S. Bokarius". Currently, this scientific and research center performs an extremely important mission in the field of ensuring justice in the state and makes a significant contribution to the development of scientific research and expertise. In particular, by working on collecting evidence of crimes committed by the aggressor country against the Ukrainian civilian population, namely, examination of destroyed objects, determining the amount of damage, genetic research, etc., he ensures his share in our joint Victory.

Interesting fact

The 5 Hryven (Forensic Science Institute) 2023 coin from Ukraine is made of Nickel brass, also known as German silver, which is an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. This alloy is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it a popular choice for minting coins. However, it's interesting to note that the use of German silver in coinage has a long history, dating back to the 16th century. In fact, the term "German silver" was originally used to describe the silver-like appearance of the alloy, even though it doesn't contain any actual silver.
