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 20.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1ББм | wide offshoot | Common | face value |
| 1ББк | wide offshoot | Common | face value |
| 1БВм | narrow offshoot | Common | UAH 10–20 |
| 1БВк | narrow offshoot | Common | UAH 10–20 |
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 most common 1996 reverse: small berries, stems in bunches No. 7 and No. 8 that do not touch the berries, and a wide outer leaf offshoot between bunches No. 1 and No. 2. Fine-reeded edge.

Enlarge photo Enlarge photoThe reverse with a narrow leaf offshoot between bunches No. 1 and No. 2 is less common, so these coins fetch a little over face value regardless of the edge reeding.

The 25 kopek coin is a Ukrainian change coin, put into circulation on 2 September 1996 together with the hryvnia.
Since 1 October 2020 the 25 kopek coin is no longer legal tender and has been withdrawn from circulation.
The 1996 25 kopiyok is a circulation coin with no expensive varieties. The ITK catalogue lists four: 1ББм and 1ББк with a wide sprig are worth face value, and 1БВм and 1БВк with a narrow one UAH 10–20. Collectors are more interested in the 25 kopiyok from the 1996 NBU annual set: these never circulated and sell in the bank seal for UAH 150–250.
