Ukrainian circulation coins
Rare and valuable Ukrainian circulation coins
Two things set the price of a circulation coin: the die variety and the mintage. Most kopiykas and hryvnias are worth about face value, but rare varieties of 1992–1996 and coins struck only for annual sets are worth from hundreds to tens of thousands of hryvnias.

Low-mintage coins worth more than face value
Some coins were struck in small numbers — from hundreds to hundreds of thousands instead of millions — and many coins of 2001–2021 only for NBU annual sets. You will hardly find them in your wallet, and they are worth hundreds of times their face value. The estimate is per the Zakharets catalogue (2023), converted to hryvnias at the NBU rate.

How to check whether your coin is valuable
- Find the year and denomination in the price table of circulation coins. If the price in the cell is close to face value, the coin is ordinary.
- If the cell says “up to …”, the coin has varieties. Open its page and use the identifier: compare the obverse, reverse and edge with the die photos.
- Most rare varieties are among the coins of 1992–1996 — see the selections by year: 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996.
- Found a rare one? put it up for sale: buyers see the variety and compare prices.
