On the coin obverse there is a composition made of seven Easter eggs decorated with ornamental patterns of various regions of Ukraine. In the middle of the composition there is the small State Emblem of Ukraine, above which there is the coin mintage year - 2003; Surrounded by a conventionalized pussy-willow ornamentation there are inscriptions: on the German silver coin - УКРАЇНА, 5 ГРИВЕНЬ. On both coins there is the Mint logo of the National Bank of Ukraine. On the coin reverse there is a multi-figured composition (solemn coming out of a church headed by a priest and carrying the shroud of Christ, crosses, gonfalons and candles) representing the traditional ceremony of consecration above which there is the inscription: ВЕЛИКДЕНЬ (Easter). Artist: Mykola Kotchubey. Sculptor: Roman Chaikovskiy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Thanks to Dr. Bunny, we have one of these nice coins in our house. I like the pysanky eggs on this coin, and seven sides, very symbolic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
