| Additional information |
Zbarazh, a small city in Ternopil Oblast, is best known for the 1649 siege in which Bohdan Khmelnytsky's Cossack forces and their Crimean Tatar allies surrounded a Polish-Lithuanian army for nearly two months. The defense held long enough to force a negotiated settlement — the Treaty of Zboriv — rather than a military conclusion. That campaign is now central to Ukrainian national historiography, which explains why a city of modest current significance earned a place in the ongoing regional commemorative series the National Bank began issuing in the early 2000s.
