Additional information

Yurii Fedkovych (1834–1888) was the dominant literary figure of 19th-century Bukovyna, a region then under Austrian rule and largely cut off from the Ukrainian cultural mainstream centered further east. His writing drew heavily on Hutsul folk tradition, and he remains one of the few major Ukrainian-language authors whose formative work came entirely from Habsburg-administered territory rather than the Russian Empire.

This coin was issued as part of Ukraine's ongoing "Outstanding Personalities of Ukraine" series, which began in the mid-1990s as a deliberate nation-building exercise following independence.
