Additional information

Issued as part of Ukraine's "Ancient Cities of Ukraine" commemorative series, this piece honors Sumy, a northeastern city founded in 1655 by Cossack settlers — according to local tradition, named after the leather bags (sumy) discovered at the settlement site, though historians debate whether this etymology is folk invention.
