The National Bank of Ukraine 2 September 2026 introduced into circulation a silver commemorative coin with a denomination of 1 hryvnia, dedicated to the 30-anniversary of the monetary reform.
As Dilo.ua writes, this was reported by the NBU press service.
The NBU’s new commemorative coin
"Our new commemorative coin is dedicated not only to the anniversary of the monetary reform. It reminds us of the path that Ukraine and the hryvnia have traveled together over thirty years. During this time the hryvnia has become a symbol of the state’s resilience; its introduction permanently secured Ukraine’s right to independently determine its economic future. Today our responsibility is to preserve trust in the national currency and to do everything so that the hryvnia remains the money of a strong, free European state," said National Bank Governor Andriy Pyshnyi.
About the coin’s design and issuance
The denomination is 1 hryvnia, and the mintage is up to 5 thousand pieces.
The coin was made of silver of 925 fineness. The mass of the precious metal in pure weight is 31,1 g; the strike quality category is "special uncirculated." The edge is smooth, with incised inscriptions. Some elements of the coin are decorated with localized gilding.
The obverse design reproduces the circulating coin with a denomination of 1 hryvnia of the 2018 model year. In the upper part is the small State Emblem of Ukraine, and in the center are the inscriptions "UKRAINE / 1 / HRYVNIA," framed by an Old Rus ornament. To the right is the logo of the NBU Banknote and Coin Plant, and at the bottom is the year of minting "2026."
The reverse reproduces the design of the first circulating coin with a denomination of 1 hryvnia, which remained in circulation until 2018 and is now being gradually withdrawn. In the lower part is the year of the monetary reform - "1996." In the center, framed by an ornament of stylized branches, is the denomination - "1 / HRYVNIA."
