| Additional information |
Motor Sich, the Zaporizhzhia-based aero-engine manufacturer, was one of the few Soviet-era industrial giants to survive the post-1991 collapse largely intact — by 2007 it supplied turbine and turboprop engines to operators across the former Soviet sphere and beyond. The commemorative was issued as part of Ukraine's ongoing series honoring domestic industrial and scientific institutions, a program the National Bank ran aggressively through the 2000s to assert economic and cultural identity through numismatic output.
The bimetallic-lookalike format in nickel brass was a deliberate cost control decision for the circulation-commemorative tier — the same alloy choice applied across dozens of issues in this series.
