Historical Context: Issued by Ukraine in 2007, this 5 Hryven coin commemorates the Holodomor, the man-made famine of 1932-1933, officially recognized as a genocide against the Ukrainian people. This issuance reflects independent Ukraine's critical efforts to reclaim its historical narrative from Soviet distortion, memorialize victims, and assert national identity, serving as a poignant statement of historical truth. The coin underscores the nation's commitment to remembrance and education about this tragic period under totalitarian rule.
Artistry: The coin exemplifies modern Ukrainian numismatic art, using direct symbolism and emotional resonance. Roman Chaikovskyi designed the obverse, featuring the national emblem, the Tryzub, above the denomination and year of issue. Volodymyr Demianenko crafted the reverse, presenting a deeply moving image of a gaunt girl clutching wheat ears, symbolizing famine victims amidst agricultural abundance. A cross motif in the background underscores immense human suffering and loss. Inscriptions clearly identify "Holodomor - Genocide of the Ukrainian People" and "1932-1933," ensuring an unequivocal message.
Technical/Grading: Struck in nickel brass (German silver), weighing 16.54 grams and measuring 35 millimeters, this commemorative typically exhibits a high-quality strike. Key high-points for grading include the girl's delicate facial features, the intricate details of the wheat ears, and the precise lines of the cross on the reverse. The obverse Tryzub's fine details are also crucial. Collectors should expect sharp definition in inscriptions and devices, reflecting the National Bank of Ukraine's consistent minting standards for commemorative issues. Full luster and minimal contact marks indicate top-grade examples.
