Ukraine is located at the intersection of the trade routes of Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean basin, it has more than 2,500 km of coastline, there are dozens of lighthouses, each with its own name, history and shape. Lighthouses not only fulfill the function of guaranteeing navigation, but are also the property of the cultural heritage of each country.
The lighthouses not only mark the entrance of the ports, but also the islands, the extremities of the headlands and peninsulas, the banks (that is, the points where the waters are shallow), the reefs and, in general, all obstacles dangerous to navigation.
The Bank of Ukraine issued on July 22 a coin with a face of 5 hryvnia minted on a German silver or alpaca alloy, with which it wants to value these constructions that have helped man in his need for orientation in navigation and especially those located in Ukraine. The most famous lighthouse of antiquity was the one on the island of Fharos, at the entrance to the Egyptian port of Alexandria, from which it seems that the word we know these lights for navigation comes from.
The reverse of the coin shows: in the center a compass with the superimposed image of a compass rose, which symbolizes the correct choice of the road and its arrival to a good port, around which are shown stylized waves that simulate the sea with six lighthouses and their names at the ends; At the top are seagulls next to the inscription LIGHTHOUSES OF UKRAINE (МАЯКИ УКРАЇНИ).
On the obverse of the coin, at the top, there is the shield and the name Ukraine, together with the year of issue, 2021; in the center a stylized composition of a fragment of the map of Ukraine, on whose coast the points where the lighthouses are located are marked. The lower part shows the face value of the coin, 5 Hryvnias; the logo of the Mint of the National Bank of Ukraine is located on the right hand side of the map.
