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 500.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1ВБм | thick stroke over “Й” | Scarce | UAH 300–500 |
| 1ВГм | thin stroke over “Й” | 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 rare 2007 5 kopiyok differs from the ordinary coin only on the reverse: the stroke over “Й” is thick, about 0.4 mm, against about 0.25 mm on the common 1ВГм. Put the coins side by side — a loupe shows the difference.

The 5 kopek coin is a Ukrainian change coin, put into circulation on 2 September 1996 together with the hryvnia.
Since 1 October 2019 the 5 kopek coin is no longer legal tender and has been withdrawn from circulation.
The 2007 5 kopiyok had a total mintage of 110 million. The ITK catalogue describes two varieties that differ in the stroke over the letter «Й» on the reverse: thin, about 0.25 mm, on the ordinary 1ВГм and thick, about 0.4 mm, on the valuable 1ВБм. 1ВБм fetches UAH 300–500, so the stroke is worth a look under a magnifier.
