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Since 1 October 2019 the 1 kopek coin is no longer legal tender and has been withdrawn from circulation.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 1996 1 kopiyka was made at the Luhansk Machine Tool Plant for the NBU annual sets, where it replaced the 1994 kopiyka. The mintage was small, so the coin is valuable, although some pieces reached circulation and these are usually cheaper than set coins. Two varieties share the same obverse: 1БА with large berries on the reverse and 1БВ with small ones; 1БВ is the more expensive. The varieties table on this page shows how to tell them apart.
