Numismatic plans

After analyzing all the designs submitted to the competition and the results of the public vote, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has started work on the first of a series of coins that will represent the story of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainians against the Russian invaders.

"In times of war, Ukrainians demonstrate absolute and unbreakable unity. "As long as you continue to live in harmony and work and stay together, each for the other and all for one, no enemy will be able to conquer you," said Ivan Franko in his novel Zakhar Berkut. Therefore, our currency will be called "In the strength of unity". The force is strengthened by the unity of Ukrainians in their fight against the Russian aggressor, as well as by the support given to Ukraine by the whole world," said Deputy Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine Oleksii Shaban.

The NBU plans to reproduce on one side of these coins Alina Maliuta's "Unity is Strength" design, which was among the top five designs that participated in the open vote, while the other side will be based on the design "Assistance from partner countries" by Serhii Topkin (below these lines), who also participated in the contest. 

 

The NBU will reproduce other designs and creative works on numismatic products (commemorative coins, medals, souvenir banknotes, etc.), to be announced at a later date. “We thank all the artists who participated in the contest and submitted their inspiring works. We also thank everyone who participated in the open voting on designs to create numismatic products in honor of our heroic resistance, and the future and indubitable victory of Ukraine”, said the deputy governor of the NBU. He also added that the BNU wants to continue working with all artists, authors and designers who wish to create numismatic products together with the BNU.
