10 kopek 1992 1.13ААм — stepped upper left leaf

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.

Rarenegotiable
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.

tip of the upper right leaf flattened on its left side
10 kopek 1992 1.34АБм — wreath set away from the rim

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)

10 kopek 1992 1.34ЕАм — Italian six-berry
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 2.1ВАм, 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
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.
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.
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
The punches for this die were made in Great Britain from a flawed sketch, so the arms came out “inside out”. A trial batch was struck with them to set up the presses.
raised shield with a sunken trident (the opposite of all other dies)
bunch No. 2 is a small obtuse triangle with large berries
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.
