| Additional information |
Reshetylivka, a town in Poltava Oblast, has been a center of Ukrainian decorative textile production since at least the eighteenth century, and its carpet and embroidery workshops were formally organized into an artel during the Soviet period. The tradition survived collectivization largely intact — an unusual outcome — and the Reshetylivka Art Products Factory continued operating after independence, eventually receiving UNESCO recognition for its embroidery practices in 2016.
This coin belongs to Ukraine's long-running "Folk Crafts" commemorative series, which the National Bank has used since the 1990s to document regional artisan traditions with no commercial mint equivalent.
