| Additional information |
Ulas Samchuk (1905–1987) was a Ukrainian novelist whose epic trilogy *Ost* documented the famine, forced collectivization, and displacement of Ukrainians under Soviet rule — work that made him persona non grata in the USSR for decades. He spent much of his life in emigration, first in Czechoslovakia and Germany, then Canada, where he died in Toronto. This coin marks the centenary of his birth.
The Zahreba catalog designation places it firmly within Ukraine's commemorative bimetallic circulation series, which the National Bank expanded aggressively through the 2000s to honor figures the Soviet period had suppressed or erased.
