Quote: "The year is drawing to a close, and as planned, we are ready to present a traditional commemorative coin in the style of the 12-year Eastern calendar featuring the symbol of the next year – the Dragon. However, it is a somewhat unusual one – with a dedication to the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
The reverse of the coin has a stylised symbol of the 2024 Eastern calendar – a dragon – in the centre. To the right of the dragon is the chevron of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, symbolising the courage and strength of our defenders.
On the obverse, the 12 symbols of the Eastern calendar are depicted in a circle, and in the centre of the circle is a stylised clock with an arrow pointing to the dragon.
The coin was designed by artist Maryna Kuts and made by Volodymyr Demianenko.
The denomination of the Year of the Dragon commemorative coin is five hryvnias. 80,000 coins have been minted, presented in souvenir packaging.
The commemorative Year of the Dragon coin is available to purchase from the National Bank’s online numismatic products shop from 24 November.
