| Additional information |
Issued as part of Ukraine's long-running wildlife conservation series, this coin marks the inclusion of bat species — almost certainly referencing the lesser horseshoe bat or a related chiropteran native to Ukrainian territory — under national protected species legislation that expanded significantly in the early 2000s. The series has been a consistent vehicle for the National Bank to highlight fauna listed in Ukraine's Red Data Book, the country's official register of threatened species.
German silver, despite the name, contains no silver whatsoever — a cupro-nickel-zinc alloy chosen here for its pale tone and durability in circulation-quality collector issues.
