Additional information

Malyn, a city in Zhytomyr Oblast, traces its documented history to 1150, making it one of the older continuously inhabited settlements in the Polesia region. The "Ancient Cities of Ukraine" series, of which this piece forms part, was launched by the National Bank of Ukraine to mark municipalities whose founding predates or coincides with the Kyivan Rus period — a program that accelerated noticeably after 2014, when asserting the depth of Ukrainian civic identity carried obvious political weight.

German silver contains no actual silver — the name is a translation of the German *Neusilber*, a nickel-copper-zinc alloy that merely resembles it.
