| Additional information |
Issued in 2018 — four years after Russia's annexation of the Crimean peninsula — this coin is a pointed assertion of Ukrainian jurisdiction over territory it no longer controls. The National Bank of Ukraine has continued issuing coins commemorating Crimea as an autonomous republic within Ukraine, a position consistent with the resolutions of the UN General Assembly, which in 2014 declared the referendum on annexation invalid.
The practical irony is complete: this coin almost certainly never circulated in Crimea itself, where the Russian ruble has been the operative currency since March 2014.
