Issued in 1998, this coin marks the post-Soviet effort to reassert Ukrainian cultural heritage through commemorative coinage — the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra's Assumption Cathedral had been deliberately destroyed by Soviet forces in 1941, with Moscow attributing the demolition to retreating German troops for decades. The attribution remained officially disputed until the 1990s, when declassified documents confirmed Soviet NKVD responsibility.
Rehabilitation of the cathedral began only after independence, with reconstruction formally underway by the mid-1990s. This coin predates the structure's completion in 2000.
