| Additional information |
The Swallow's Nest castle perched on the Crimean coast near Yalta was built in its current neo-Gothic form between 1911 and 1912 by German oil baron Baron von Steingel, replacing an earlier timber structure. Ukraine issued this gold piece in 2008 while the peninsula was still under its jurisdiction — six years before Russian annexation made coins celebrating Crimean landmarks a geopolitically complicated artifact of pre-2014 Ukrainian numismatic history.
