Comment
The coin is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of liberation of the city of Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, from the fascist invaders on February 8, 1944, as a result of the Nikopol-Krivoi Rog offensive executed by troops of the 3rd and 4th Ukrainian Fronts.Interesting fact
The Liberation of Nikopol coin features an image of a Soviet tank on its reverse side, which is unusual for a Ukrainian coin as Ukraine has historically had a complex relationship with Soviet symbols. The inclusion of the tank image was likely a deliberate choice to commemorate the liberation of Nikopol from German occupation during World War II, which was achieved with the help of Soviet forces. This design choice represents a nuanced perspective on history and highlights the complexity of Ukrainian identity.
