| Additional information |
Ukraine's first post-Soviet coinage was authorized in 1992 but held in reserve for years while the country continued using Soviet-era kopecks and the transitional karbovanets coupon currency. The hryvnia itself didn't enter circulation until September 1996, when the National Bank executed a ten-day currency reform replacing the karbovanets at a rate of 100,000 to one.
The absence of a mintmark reflects production at the Luhansk Cartridge Works, the only domestic facility capable of striking coins at the time — an awkward dependency that the Ukrainian Mint in Kyiv was established specifically to end.
