| Additional information |
Issued to mark Ukraine's participation in the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, this coin belongs to a broader Ukrainian commemorative program that accelerated sharply after independence as the National Bank sought to establish a distinct numismatic identity. Figure skating had been a consistent source of Olympic medals for Soviet-era Ukrainian athletes, though by 2002 Ukraine was competing under its own flag for only the third Winter Games.
The nickel brass alloy used here was standard for Ukrainian commemoratives of this denomination in the early 2000s, a cost-conscious choice that kept face value credible while allowing wider distribution than silver issues.
