In 2016 the coin was struck in two runs: the circulation coin in brass-plated steel, which sticks to a magnet, and the collector coin for the NBU annual set in non-magnetic aluminium bronze. Only the set coin is collectable — it does not turn up in circulation, while the circulation coin is worth face value.

The 50 kopek coin is a Ukrainian change coin, put into circulation on 2 September 1996 together with the hryvnia.
This denomination in 2016 is represented by two types of metal:
- Steel: Standard circulation coin with brass coating (magnetic). Minted for regular monetary turnover.
- Aluminum Bronze: Special issue for collectors. The coin is non-magnetic, features an improved UNC surface, and is found only in official NBU annual sets.
The mintage of the bronze version is only 10,000 units, making it a valuable numismatic object, as it represents a temporary "return" to the old alloy within that minting year.
