Issued to mark the Orthodox Christian feast of Theophany (Водохреще), observed on January 19th in Ukraine according to the Julian calendar. The National Bank of Ukraine began producing liturgical and religious commemoratives in the mid-1990s as the country's public religious life re-emerged after Soviet suppression — a series that grew steadily through the 2000s. This piece belongs to that broader program rather than marking any singular anniversary.
