Interesting type dedicated to the fifth anniversary of adaptation of local constitution, which approved a tricky name of the territory. Majority of countries together with short name have to full name, for example Canada (short name) has full name Dominion of Canada. The ukranian territory in 1991-1992 prepared coins with name "Republic of Ukraine". These coins never found their way to circulation and were immediately substituted by 'ukraine', for in 1996 the local constitution stated that ukraine those days had nothing to do with republic and full name is the same as the short one. This one word 'ukraine' on each local coin reminds about the trick. Due to small mintage (just 30000 pcs) this coin in lovely high grade condition is rare.
