| Additional information |
Ukraine's early commemorative program in the late 1990s was partly a deliberate nation-building exercise — the hryvnia itself had only been introduced in 1996, replacing the transitional karbovanets after years of post-Soviet hyperinflation that had rendered Ukrainian currency nearly worthless. A Christmas commemorative struck just three years into the hryvnia's existence was as much about asserting institutional normalcy as marking the holiday.
The Zahreba reference places this within a well-documented Ukrainian specialist catalog, useful for attribution given how frequently early NBU commemoratives are misidentified in general listings.
