| Additional information |
The Sviatohirsk Lavra, carved into chalk cliffs above the Siverskyi Donets River in eastern Ukraine, was suppressed under Soviet rule and its monks expelled — the monastery served variously as a sanatorium and a children's camp before being returned to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in 1992. This coin was issued just thirteen years into that restoration, when the site had only recently regained its lavra status, conferred by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) in 2004, a single year before the mint date.
