The new coin continues the series dedicated to the Ukrainian military and honors the contribution of the National Guard to the protection of the sovereignty, territorial integrity, public order and security of Ukraine.
Design
The circulating commemorative coin “National Guard of Ukraine” has a denomination of 10 hryvnia and is made of zinc-based alloy with a nickel coating.
The obverse of the coin is identical to the obverse of the 10 hryvnia circulating coin of the 2018 model. In the center, framed by an ancient Russian ornament, are the coin denomination, the year of minting and the State Emblem of Ukraine.
On the reverse of the coin there are inscriptions around the circle reflecting fundamental values – HONOR, COURAGE, LAW (at the top) and NATIONAL GUARD OF UKRAINE (at the bottom).
The main element of the composition is the image of the beret insignia of the National Guard of Ukraine, the basis of which is a straight equilateral cross with diverging ends.
In the center of the cross, in an octagon, is depicted the small State Emblem of Ukraine. In the background of the coin is a symbolic shield, which is the embodiment of protection and security.
The design of the coin's reverse was created by Alisa Ivanova, the obverse by Vladimir Demyanenko.
Turnover
Like all other circulating coins of Ukraine, the circulating commemorative coin “National Guard of Ukraine” must be accepted at its face value for all types of cash payments and crediting to accounts.
The National Bank will gradually supply banks and SIT companies with such circulating commemorative coins for their subsequent issuance to clients. They will be accepted from clients as ordinary circulating coins with a face value of 10 hryvnia.
Gradually, about 10 million of these commemorative coins will be introduced into circulation.
At the same time, part of the circulation of the circulating commemorative coin “National Guard of Ukraine” (520 thousand pieces) will be formed into specially designed rolls. The roll will contain 25 such circulating commemorative coins.
