Coin Ukraine 10 hryvnias - Luhansk Oblast - 2025

This 10 hryvnia coin was issued by Ukraine in 2025 as part of a series dedicated to the country's regions. It represents the Luhansk (Lugansk) region, a Ukrainian territory located in the east of the country, at the heart of contemporary geopolitical tensions. The issuance of this coin is part of an institutional approach aimed at affirming Ukraine's sovereignty over all of its historically and administratively recognised regions.

The coin is struck in nickel-plated zinc, an alloy commonly used for circulation coins due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. It has a diameter of 23.5 mm and a weight of 6.4 grams, standard dimensions for a circulation coin of this face value. Its face value is 10 hryvnias, corresponding to a denomination of the Ukrainian national currency.

The mintage of this issue is set at 2,000,000 pieces, a relatively high figure indicating that this is a coin intended for general circulation rather than a prestige numismatic edition with a limited mintage. This production volume reflects the popular and commemorative nature of this regional series.

The obverse of the coin features the usual elements found on contemporary Ukrainian coins, including the national coat of arms or inscriptions specific to the issuer, while the reverse is dedicated to symbolic or cartographic elements associated with the Luhansk region. This region, whose administrative centre is the city of Luhansk, is one of the eastern oblasts of Ukraine, bordering Russia. It is particularly known for its industrial and mining heritage.

This coin is listed in the Numista numismatic database under reference 537786, allowing collectors to consult detailed information as well as additional illustrations relating to this issue.
