Interesting fact
The Kyiv Fortress coin features an image of the historic Kyiv Fortress, which was built in the 11th century and has been a significant cultural and architectural landmark in Ukraine for centuries. The fortress has been depicted on various Ukrainian coins over the years, but the 2021 edition is particularly unique because it is made of nickel brass, also known as German silver, which gives it a distinctive silver-like appearance. This makes the coin stand out from other coins in the series and adds to its collectibility.
