Comment

This coin celebrates Saints Peter and Paul Garrison Church, which was built in the early 17th century and is now one of the holy places and landmarks of Lviv. This Baroque building – located in the historical part of the city of Lviv – is its largest church. The building, which has witnesses many events and at different times served as the city’s garrison church, a warehouse, and a book store room, started operating as a church again in 2011. During the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict in eastern Ukraine, the church became a place where Ukrainian soldiers are prayed for and where funeral services for servicemen killed in the Joint Forces Operation are performed. It has also started to be used as a museum and a volunteer center.
