Additional information

Issued to mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of Katerynoslav — the city Peter the Great's granddaughter Catherine II established by imperial decree in 1776 as a showcase of Russian imperial ambition in the newly conquered southern steppe. The city was renamed Dnipropetrovsk in 1926 under Soviet rule, a name it held until 2016 when Ukrainian decommunization laws prompted yet another renaming, this time to Dnipro.

The "German silver" designation here is a misnomer inherited from 19th-century metallurgy — the alloy contains no silver whatsoever.
