The coin was struck with different dies, so its price depends on the variety: common ones are worth about face value, rare ones up to UAH 17 000. The most valuable: 1.35АА «stepped leaf, small berries» (UAH 10 000–17 000), 1.11АЕ «large berries» (UAH 3 500–14 000), 1.2АА «straight upper leaf» (UAH 500–1 200).
Compare your coin with the die descriptions and mark the ones that match — the table will keep only the fitting varieties.

| 1.11АА | bridge between grains | Common | face value |

How to read the code: digits stand for the obverse die (the side with the trident), capital letters for the reverse die (the side with the denomination), the final letter or digit for the edge type. Codes follow I. Kolomiiets’ catalogue “Standard Coins of Ukraine”.
A common kopiyka. Obverse 1.11 is recognised by the bridge between the first and third grains of the second ear.

The 1 kopiyka coin is the smallest change coin, one hundredth of a hryvnia. It was put into circulation on 2 September 1996 together with the hryvnia.
After 2012, the coin was mainly minted for collectible annual sets.
Since 1 October 2019 the 1 kopek coin is no longer legal tender and has been withdrawn from circulation.
The 1992 kopiyka coins were struck at the Italian mint. The ITK catalogue lists nine varieties, and the vast majority of coins are the ordinary 1.11АА, worth face value; a few more varieties sell for UAH 10–50. Three are valuable: 1.2АА, whose upper right leaf has a straight, cut-off tip (UAH 500–1,200), 1.11АЕ with large berries (UAH 3,500–14,000) and 1.35АА with a stepped leaf and small berries (UAH 10,000–17,000). To identify your coin, look at the shape of the upper right leaf and the size of the berries — the identifier on this page will point to the variety.
