On July 18, the National Bank presented and immediately put into circulation a commemorative coin “Oh, there is a red viburnum at the puddle.” This is the second coin from the new series “My Ukraine is Immortal”, launched during the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
The series “Oh at the moon of red viburnum” includes two coins minted in denominations of 5 hryvnia (made of nickel silver) and 10 hryvnia (made of silver). They are dedicated to the Ukrainian song, which during the bloody war of Russia against Ukraine became a new symbol of the invincibility of the Ukrainian people and united the fighters for the freedom of Ukraine all over the world.
The author of the coins was Dmitry Krivonos. It was brought to life by sculptors Svyatoslav Ivanenko and Vladimir Atamanchuk.
The obverse of the coins depicts a stylized composition: defenders of different generations – a Cossack, a Sich Rifleman and a modern soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine raise a viburnum – a poetic symbol of Ukraine, the crown of which resembles the outlines of the borders of our Motherland.
At the top, in a semicircle, is the inscription: “And my red viburnum is pіdіymemo!” On the reverse, on a mirror background at the top, the continuation of the song: “And our glorious Ukraine, gay, gay, merry!”. In the center is a branch – a leaf and viburnum berries.
