Additional information

Issued to honor Edmund Cartwright, the English clergyman who patented the power loom in 1785 — an invention he pursued with almost no mechanical background, largely out of stubbornness after a dinner conversation with Manchester merchants who claimed machine weaving was impossible. Ukraine's commemorative program frequently reaches into global industrial and scientific history, and Cartwright sits in a series that ranges from domestic figures to foreign inventors deemed significant to human progress broadly.

Mintage for this type was capped at 45,000 pieces.
