Which 1992 10 kopek coins are rare: variety features

10 kopek 1992 1.11ААм — upper left leaf flattened

ScarceUAH 60–70

Obverse 1.11 is told apart from the similar 1.13 and 1.14 by the shape of the upper leaves.

  • middle tooth thickened at the top, the “1” in the date has a tail
  • tip of the upper left leaf flattened, of the upper right leaf rounded
  • bunch No. 2 is a right triangle
  • fine-reeded edge

10 kopek 1992 1.13ААм — stepped upper left leaf

Commonface value

A common variety with the “Italian” obverse. The upper leaves and the lettering set it apart from the similar 1.11 and 1.14.

  • middle tooth thickened at the top, the “1” in the date has a tail
  • tip of the upper right leaf rounded on its left side, of the upper left leaf stepped
  • tops of “Ї” and “Н” curved (straight on the expensive 1.14)
  • bunch No. 2 is a right triangle
  • fine-reeded edge

10 kopek 1992 1.14ГАм — straight tops of “Ї” and “Н”

Very rareUAH 10 000–13 000

One of the rarest varieties: the ITK catalogue puts it at fewer than one coin in 30,000. The lettering is the easiest giveaway.

  • middle tooth thickened at the top, the “1” in the date has a tail
  • “Ї” and “Н” have straight tops and curved bottoms (die 3 has both straight — do not confuse them)
  • bunch No. 2 is an obtuse triangle with tiny, dot-like berries
  • fine-reeded edge

Same as 1.14ГАм but with a coarse-reeded edge. Sales are almost unheard of, so the price is negotiable.

10 kopek 1992 1.2ААм — flattened upper right leaf

Commonface value

Obverse 1.2 is recognised by the upper right leaf: the left side of its tip is flattened — not rounded as on 1.1 or stepped as on 1.3.

  • middle tooth thickened at the top, the “1” in the date has a tail
  • tip of the upper right leaf flattened on its left side
  • bunch No. 2 is a right triangle

10 kopek 1992 1.2ВАм — flattened leaf, large berries

CommonUAH 1–10

The same obverse 1.2, but with reverse ВА and its large berries. Worth a little more than face value.

  • middle tooth thickened at the top, the “1” in the date has a tail
  • tip of the upper right leaf flattened on its left side
  • bunch No. 2 is a small obtuse triangle with large berries; in bunch No. 7 the stem reaches the berry

10 kopek 1992 1.32ААм — wide veins in the grains

Commonface value

A common variety with obverse 1.3. The veins in the grains set it apart from the rare 1.34: wide and hole-like on 1.32, thin on 1.34.

  • middle tooth thickened at the top, the “1” in the date has a tail
  • tip of the upper right leaf stepped on its left side
  • wide veins in the grains of the ears
  • bunch No. 2 is a right triangle, the wreath close to the rim

RareUAH 5 000–7 000

The only variety with reverse АБ. It is easily confused with the common 1.32ААм, whose wreath sits closer to the rim.

  • middle tooth thickened at the top, the “1” in the date has a tail
  • stepped tip of the upper right leaf
  • thin veins in the grains (wide and hole-like on 1.32)
  • bunch No. 2 is a right triangle, the wreath stands away from the rim

RareUAH 1 200–1 800

A six-berry variety with the “Italian” obverse.

  • middle tooth thickened at the top, the “1” in the date has a tail
  • stepped tip of the upper right leaf, thin veins in the grains
  • six berries in bunches No. 3 and No. 6, the top berry of No. 6 level with “копійок”

10 kopek 1992 2.1ААм — thin trident, right-angled bunch

CommonUAH 1–15

Thin trident with reverse АА — an inexpensive variety. The same coin with a coarse-reeded edge (2.1ААк) is worth much more.

  • thin middle tooth, the “1” in the date has no tail
  • 12 mm between the outer awns of the ears; the fifth and seventh grains of the third ear are open
  • bunch No. 2 is a right triangle
  • fine-reeded edge

Differs from the common 2.1ААм only by its coarse-reeded edge — compare the edge with an ordinary coin.

10 kopek 1992 2.1БАм — small lowest berry

ScarceUAH 15–30

Thin trident with reverse БА. The giveaway is bunch No. 2: a large obtuse triangle whose lowest berry is smaller than the rest.

  • thin middle tooth, the “1” in the date has no tail
  • bunch No. 2 is a large obtuse triangle with the smallest berry at the bottom
  • fine-reeded edge

ScarceUAH 10–50

Same as 2.1БАм — thin trident and bunch No. 2 with a small lowest berry — but with a coarse-reeded edge. Both coins are worth about the same.

10 kopek 1992 2.1ВАм, 2.1ВАк — thin trident, large berries

Commonface value

A common pairing of the thin trident with reverse ВА; the edge may be fine or coarse reeded, at the same price. Do not mistake it for the very rare 2.21ВАк, where the fifth and seventh grains of the third ear are closed.

  • thin middle tooth, the “1” in the date has no tail
  • fifth and seventh grains of the third ear open, 12 mm between the outer awns
  • bunch No. 2 is a small obtuse triangle with large berries

Thin trident with reverse ГА: tiny, dot-like berries. The edge may be fine or coarse reeded, at the same price.

  • thin middle tooth, the “1” in the date has no tail
  • bunch No. 2 is a small obtuse triangle of dot-like berries
  • in bunch No. 7 the stem does not reach the berry

ScarceUAH 50–100

The most common six-berry variety: thin trident tooth, six berries in bunches No. 3 and No. 6, fine-reeded edge. The same coin with coarse reeding (2.1ДАк) is worth several times more.

10 kopek 1992 2.21ВАк — closed grains in the ear

Very rareUAH 10 000–18 000

A very rare sub-type of the thin trident. It is often mistaken for the common 2.1ВАм and 2.1ВАк, so check the grains of the ear.

  • thin middle tooth of the trident
  • the fifth and seventh grains of the third ear are closed (open on 2.1)
  • 11.6 mm between the outer awns of the ears (12 mm on 2.1)

10 kopek 1992 3.11ВАм — thick trident, wide grain slot

Commonface value

A common thick trident. Sub-types 3.11 and 3.12 differ in the sixth grain of the second ear: on 3.11 its slot is wide and straight.

  • thick middle tooth, “Україна” and the date stand away from the shield
  • wide, straight slot in the sixth grain of the second ear
  • the fourth grain of the third ear is closed
  • bunch No. 2 is a small obtuse triangle with large berries

ScarceUAH 50–150

Differs from the common 3.11ВАм by its coarse-reeded edge. Another sign of this ВА reverse: in bunch No. 5 the stem reaches the second berry from the left.

Rarenegotiable

A rare version of the common 3.12ВАм with a coarse-reeded edge; sales are one-offs, so the price is negotiable. The similar 3.11ВАк is much cheaper — the slot in the sixth grain of the second ear tells them apart.

  • thick middle tooth of the trident
  • narrow, slanted slot in the sixth grain of the second ear (wide and straight on 3.11)
  • bunch No. 2 is a small obtuse triangle with large berries

  • raised shield with a sunken trident (the opposite of all other dies)
  • bunch No. 2 is a small obtuse triangle with large berries
  • fine-reeded edge

Coin obverse 10 kopek 1992, brass
Coin reverse 10 kopek 1992, brass

The 10 kopek coin is a Ukrainian change coin, put into circulation on 2 September 1996 together with the hryvnia.


The 1992 10 kopiyok was struck at the Luhansk Machine Tool Plant with many different dies, including the so-called "Italian" and "English" ones, so the ITK catalogue describes more than thirty varieties of this coin — more than for any other circulation coin in our catalogue. Most are common and worth face value or a few hryvnias, but some have been found only a handful of times: 1.34АБм, 1.14ГАм or 2.21ВАк fetch UAH 5,000 to 18,000. The variety is identified by three features — the trident on the obverse, the shape of the berry clusters in the wreath on the reverse and the edge reeding; the identifier on this page walks you through them step by step.
