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 200.
Compare your coin with the die descriptions and mark the ones that match — the table will keep only the fitting varieties.
| Variety | Distinctive feature | Rarity | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.11ВГм | from circulation | Common | face value |
| 1.11(1)ВГм | flaw: dot by “У” | Scarce | UAH 40–100 |
| 1.12ВГм | from a mint set | Scarce | UAH 100–200 |
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”.
The ordinary circulation coin: 17.5 mm between the outer awns on the obverse. If it is 18 mm, the coin comes from an NBU annual set (1.12ВГм); a dot next to the letter “У” is the 1.11(1)ВГм die flaw.

The 5 kopek coin is a Ukrainian change coin, put into circulation on 2 September 1996 together with the hryvnia.
Since 1 October 2019 the 5 kopek coin is no longer legal tender and has been withdrawn from circulation.
In 2014 the 5 kopiyok was struck in two runs, for circulation and for NBU collector sets. Circulation coins (1.11ВГм) are worth face value. Set coins, 1.12ВГм, were struck with a different obverse die and sell for UAH 100–200. There is also an error, 1.11(1)ВГм, with a dot next to the letter «У», at UAH 40–100.
