The 50 kopek coin is a Ukrainian change coin, put into circulation on 2 September 1996 together with the hryvnia.
From 2013 circulation 50 kopiyok coins were struck in brass-plated steel, so they are attracted to a magnet. This variety, 1ГБм, is worth face value. For the NBU collector sets of the same year 10,000 coins were struck in aluminium bronze with improved striking quality (2ГБм): they are not magnetic and fetch UAH 100–130. A magnet is the easiest way to tell them apart.
