Issued to mark the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development's Annual Meeting held in Kyiv in May 1998 — the first time the EBRD convened in a former Soviet state that was itself a recipient of EBRD financing. Ukraine had been receiving EBRD funds since 1993, largely directed at infrastructure and energy sector reform during an extraordinarily turbulent post-independence economic contraction.
The "German silver" designation in Zahreba reflects a nickel-brass alloy classification inconsistency common to early Ukrainian commemorative cataloging.
