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 150.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1ВА | awns clear of the grains | Common | face value |
| 2ВА | mule: 10 kopiyok obverse | Scarce | UAH 130–150 |
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 kopiyka: the awns of the second ear do not touch the grains, about 11 mm between the outer awns. If the awns touch the grains and the design is larger, it is the 2ВА mule with the 10 kopiyok obverse.

The 1 kopiyka coin is the smallest change coin, one hundredth of a hryvnia. It was put into circulation on 2 September 1996 together with the hryvnia.
After 2012, the coin was mainly minted for collectible annual sets.
Since 1 October 2019 the 1 kopek coin is no longer legal tender and has been withdrawn from circulation.
The 2006 1 kopiyka is a circulation coin with two varieties. The ordinary 1ВА is worth face value. The rare 2ВА is a mule: its obverse was struck with a die from the 2006 10 kopiyok, so the awns of the second ear touch the grains, which they do not on an ordinary kopiyka. Such a coin sells for UAH 130–150.
