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 aluminium-bronze coin — not attracted by a magnet. Obverse 1 is smaller (about 11 mm between the outer awns) and further from the rim, but the price is the same as 2ИВм. Only the magnetic coin with the same code is worth more.

The 10 kopek coin is a Ukrainian change coin, put into circulation on 2 September 1996 together with the hryvnia.
The 2008 10 kopiyok is a mass circulation coin with a total mintage of 260 million. The varieties 1ИВм and 2ИВм differ in the size of the obverse design and are worth face value. A valuable find is a 2008 10 kopiyok in magnetic steel: ordinary coins are aluminium bronze and are not attracted to a magnet, while a steel one fetches about UAH 7,000. So the easiest check is to hold a magnet to the coin.
