50 kopek 2015 1ГБм — magnetic, from circulation
The circulation coin in brass-plated steel — attracted by a magnet — is worth face value. A non-magnetic aluminium-bronze coin of the same year (2015) comes from an NBU annual set.

| Variety | Distinctive feature | Rarity | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1ГБм | magnetic, from circulation | Common | face value |
| 1ГБм | non-magnetic, from a mint set | Scarce | UAH 200–400 |

Enlarge photoIn 2015 the coin was struck in two runs: the circulation coin in brass-plated steel, which sticks to a magnet, and the collector coin for the NBU annual set in non-magnetic aluminium bronze. Only the set coin is collectable — it does not turn up in circulation, while the circulation coin is worth face value.

These are the 2015 circulation 50 kopiyok coins in brass-plated steel: they are attracted to a magnet and are worth face value. The same year, 50 kopiyok coins were struck separately in non-magnetic aluminium bronze for the NBU collector set; they sell for UAH 200–400 and have their own page in the catalogue. Both share the ITK code 1ГБм, so a magnet is what tells them apart.
