Design Details and Technical Specifications
The new coin, with a denomination of 10 hryvnias, is made of a zinc-based alloy with a nickel coating. The total mintage is approximately 10 million pieces. The obverse of the coin fully adheres to the standard design of circulating coins of this denomination from 2018: the denomination, year of issue, and the State Emblem of Ukraine are placed in the center, surrounded by ancient Russian ornamentation.
The reverse of the coin features a stylized composition of police officers from various units, embodying courage, professionalism, and dedication to service. At the top of the coin is the emblem of the National Police — an octagonal star with a small State Emblem of Ukraine. The inscriptions around the edge read: at the top — “National Police of Ukraine,” and at the bottom — “To Serve and Protect.”
“Ten years ago, patrols of the new police first took to the streets of the country, opening a new chapter in the development of Ukraine’s law enforcement system. The issued coin is not just a means of payment, but a symbol of gratitude and respect for the police officers who serve and protect every day,” the National Bank notes.
Release Features and Coin Designers
The designer of the coin’s reverse is Alisa Ivanova, while the obverse was designed by Volodymyr Dmyanenko. In addition to regular cash circulation, part of the coins will be issued in souvenir rolls of 25 pieces each. They are packaged in special paper featuring the emblem of the National Police against the backdrop of the state flag of Ukraine, with a total mintage of souvenir rolls being 20,000 units.
