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 70.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1ИБм | mule: 1 kopiyka obverse | Scarce | UAH 35–70 |
| 2ИБм | narrow rim | 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”.
Both 2003 varieties share the reverse; only the obverse differs — the rare coin carries the 2003 1 kopiyka obverse. If in doubt, put a 2003 kopiyka next to it: the obverses should match.

The 10 kopek coin is a Ukrainian change coin, put into circulation on 2 September 1996 together with the hryvnia.
The 2003 10 kopiyok is a mass circulation coin with a total mintage of 120 million. Two varieties share the same reverse. The ordinary 2ИБм is worth face value, while the scarcer 1ИБм — a mule with the obverse of the 1 kopiyka, hence its smaller design — sells for UAH 35–70. How many of these exist is unknown.
