Пектораль


Four commemorative coins included in the Pectoral Set celebrate a golden breast decoration, a pectoral that belonged to a Scythian king. This ancient and unique piece of jewelry, which dates back to the 4th century B.C., depicts unusual scenes from Scythian life and mythology, and is of superb artistry. The pectoral resembles a crescent in shape and consists of three tiers: the lower tier features animals, the middle one depicts flowers, and the upper one shows people. To this day, the pectoral’s intricate details have not ceased to astound and impress people: every muscle, fiber, and fold in clothing has been carved with great precision. Discovered in 1971 in a Scythian burial mound called the Thick Tomb in Dnipropetrovsk oblast by Ukrainian archeologist Borys Mozolevskyi, the pectoral has become a symbol of Ukraine’s elite heritage, and has international significance.
