Comment

This coin commemorates the Lutsk Orthodox Fellowship of the True Cross - a national, religious and community-based organization of the Volyn Orthodox Polish gentry. The fellowship strived to preserve and protect Orthodoxy in Volyn, and played an important role in the region's social and political life in the first half of the 17th century. Fellowships founded in Lviv, Kyiv, Lutsk, Ostroh, Vilnia and other places in the late 16th and early 17th centuries were involved in charitable, cultural and educational activities. As part of their efforts, they established hospitals, schools and printing houses, erected churches and monasteries, and distributed books promoting culture and science.
