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 3 300. The most valuable: 1АДг «plain edge» (UAH 2 500–3 300).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1АДг | plain edge | Rare | UAH 2 500–3 300 |
| 1АД1 | thick edge lettering | Common | face value |
| 1АД2 | medium edge lettering | Common | face value |
| 1АД3 | thin edge lettering | 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”.
The only valuable 2002 hryvnia — the one without edge lettering. It has sold at auction only a few times, and fraudsters file the lettering off cheap coins, so check weight and diameter. The ordinary 1АД1–1АД3 differ only in edge type width and are worth face value.

The 1 hryvnia circulating coin was introduced into circulation on March 12, 1997.
The 2002 1 hryvnia is a mass circulation coin in aluminium bronze. The ITK catalogue describes four varieties: three of them (1АД1, 1АД2, 1АД3) differ in the edge lettering font and are worth face value. Only the hryvnia with no lettering on the edge is valuable: 1АДг with a plain edge fetches UAH 2,500–3,300. So to check your 2002 hryvnia, just look at its edge.
