Part of Ukraine's ongoing nature conservation series, this issue commemorates the Polish larch (*Larix polonica*), a species once thought extinct until a small natural stand was rediscovered in the Gorgany range of the Carpathians in the early twentieth century. The tree's survival was precarious enough that Soviet-era botanists debated whether the remaining population constituted a genuine relict or a naturalized introduction.
Ukraine's silver nature commemoratives from this period were struck in relatively modest quantities and saw essentially no circulation — issued directly into collector hands through the NBU's own distribution channels.
