Additional information

Issued the year after Ukraine formally separated the hryvnia from its Soviet-era ruble peg and completed its currency stabilization program, this piece was part of the National Bank's early push to establish the gold commemorative series as both a revenue instrument and a vehicle for national historical memory. St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery, founded in the 11th century and demolished by Soviet authorities in 1936, was still under reconstruction in 1998 — the cathedral would not be fully restored until 1999, meaning this coin preceded the building's own completion.
