Coin Ukraine 10 Hryvnia - Crimea Region - 2025

This 10 hryvnia coin was issued by Ukraine in 2025 as part of a series dedicated to Ukrainian regions. It commemorates the Crimea region, a Ukrainian territory whose sovereignty is claimed by Ukraine despite its occupation since 2014. The issuance of this coin is part of an effort affirming the peninsula's belonging to Ukraine.

The coin is struck in nickel-plated zinc, an alloy commonly used in contemporary coin production for its durability and striking properties. It has a diameter of 23.5 mm and a weight of 6.4 grams, dimensions characteristic of Ukrainian circulating coins of this face value.

The obverse of the coin features the usual elements of National Bank of Ukraine issues, including the institutional symbols specific to Ukrainian circulating coins. The reverse is dedicated to the representation of the Crimea region, highlighting the geographical or heritage features of this territory.

The mintage of this issue has been set at 2,000,000 pieces, a relatively large volume primarily intended for general circulation while also making it of particular interest to numismatic collectors specialising in contemporary Ukrainian issues or regional thematic series.

This coin is part of a long Ukrainian numismatic tradition of depicting the country's various regions on standard face-value coins. The Ukrainian regions series is a well-documented and referenced set, notably on the Numista platform under reference 537791.
