The new 10-hryvnia coins are dedicated to two regions of Ukraine
The National Bank of Ukraine has issued two new commemorative circulation coins with a face value of 10 hryvnias, dedicated to the Sumy and Chernihiv regions. They were released as part of the “We Are Strong. We Are Together” series, which symbolizes the country’s unity. The coins are gradually being put into circulation through banks and cash-handling companies, according to the regulator’s website.
The National Bank of Ukraine has presented a new series of commemorative circulation coins, which serve both as legal tender and as symbolic tokens of appreciation for regions that have become part of a shared history of resistance, as this time the focus is on the Sumy and Chernihiv regions.
According to the NBU, the coins have a face value of 10 hryvnias and are made of a zinc-based alloy with a nickel coating; their obverse fully corresponds to the standard 2018 coin, while the reverse features a stylized map of Ukraine with the regions highlighted to which the issue is dedicated. “The coins are legal tender within Ukraine,” the National Bank emphasizes, noting that they will be gradually introduced into circulation through banks and cash-handling companies.
The total mintage will be two million pieces of each coin, some of which will be presented in special rolls of 25 coins, which can also be purchased separately from the NBU’s online numismatic store and from distributor banks.
The National Bank separately noted that the Sumy and Chernihiv regions were among the first to bear the brunt of the Russian invasion in 2022, and it is this historical context that forms the basis of the new commemorative issue.
The National Bank of Ukraine has revised the rules for the insurance market and simplified procedures for insurance intermediaries by reducing some of the red tape and clarifying requirements for companies’ operations.
The National Bank of Ukraine has published an analytical review of the non-bank financial sector for the first quarter of 2026. The report notes significant market growth: the total share of non-bank financial institutions in assets under NBU supervision increased by 0.2 percentage points and now stands at 9%.
We also note that the National Bank of Ukraine has tightened currency restrictions on international payments. This will help prevent unproductive capital outflows from the country.
We previously reported that the Northern Commercial Court of Appeal in Kyiv confirmed that the state-owned PrivatBank cannot be returned to its former owner, Ihor Kolomoyskyi.
