| Additional information |
The zlotnik is a historical Ukrainian unit of weight, roughly equivalent to 4.27 grams, revived here as a denomination name in a modern naturalist series rather than carrying any transactional value. Ukraine's National Bank has issued a recurring run of wildlife-themed brass pieces outside the standard hryvnia denomination structure, positioning them as collector tokens with legal tender status — an increasingly common approach among post-Soviet mints seeking revenue streams beyond circulation coinage.
The boreal owl has a breeding range extending into the Carpathian forests of western Ukraine, which provides the geographic justification for its inclusion.
