This commemorative coin celebrates the Archangel Michael, one of the main archangels, who is known as the Commander of the Heavenly Host (commander-in-chief in Greek). The Archangel Michael is one of the most revered biblical characters among believers. He leads “the heavenly army of angels,” and is the patron of soldiers who fight for just causes. Respect for the Archangel Michael has been maintained since the days of Kyiv Rus to the present day. He was a symbol of the heavenly protection of Kyiv Rus princes. Later on, this reverence was manifested not only in toponyms – in the names of church buildings, but also in heraldry – on the coats of arms of Kyiv, the Voivodeship of Kyiv, and the Province of Kyiv. Today, the image of the Archangel Michael is present in the badges of Ukrainian troops and continues to symbolize the fight against evil.

This commemorative coin celebrates Kharakternyk Cossacks – the legendary warriors of the Zaporozhian Sich. These warriors, shrouded in mystical fame, were distinguished by their unsurpassed skill in combat and mastery of weapons, which aroused fear among their enemies and admiration among their allies. The historian Dmytro Yavornytskyi described them as knights whom “neither fire nor water, nor saber, nor an ordinary bullet, save for a silver one, could fell.” Today, Ukrainian defenders, like their ancestors, are demonstrating exceptional bravery, resilience and loyalty to their homeland, continuing the glorious traditions of the Cossacks.
