Comment

This coin commemorates the events of 1917 - 1921, when the Ukrainian nation fought to restore and retain its statehood. During the revolution, the Ukrainian People's Republic, the Ukrainian State, and the West Ukrainian People's Republic were created. These complex social and political events made a huge contribution to Ukraine's regaining its independence in 1991. The powerful spirit of those times, together with historic transformations and changes, had, among other things, a significant impact on art, which reflected confusion, worry and social disturbances. The coin is made in an avant-garde style, which calls to mind world-famous avant-gardists whose birth, upbringing, self-awareness, and national traditions are connected with Ukraine. These include David Burliuk, Kazimir Malevich, Vladimir Tatlin, Aleksandra Ekster, Vasyl Yermilov, Alexander Bogomazov...
