Coin of 200,000 Karbovantsiv whose obverse features the national shield of Ukraine with the trident, flanked by viburnum branches and partially surrounded by a pearl border, with the date at the top and the denomination below. The reverse shows a bell crowned by a cross, with the name Chernobyl across its body, five cranes in flight and a lower ribbon bearing the dates 1986–1996. The design, commemorative and symbolic in nature, incorporates the motto “Tragedy, Heroism, Warning.” The piece retains sharp relief and reflective fields, with strong contrast between surfaces, in keeping with its prooflike finish; it shows light surface marks and a subtle golden tone around the perimeter. Struck at Kremnica, it commemorates the tenth anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and remembers both its victims and those who responded to the disaster.
