100 Years since the Ukrainain Revolution of 2017 - 1921

This coin commemorates the events of 1917 - 1921, when the Ukrainian nation fought to restore and retain its statehood. During the revolution, the Ukrainian People`s Republic, the Ukrainian State, and the West Ukrainian People`s Republic were created. These complex social and political events made a huge contribution to Ukraine`s regaining its independence in 1991. The powerful spirit of those times, together with historic transformations and changes, had, among other things, a significant impact on art, which reflected confusion, worry and social disturbances. The coin is made in an avant-garde style, which calls to mind world-famous avant-gardists whose birth, upbringing, self-awareness, and national traditions are connected with Ukraine. These include David Burliuk, Kazimir Malevich, Vladimir Tatlin, Aleksandra Ekster, Vasyl Yermilov, Alexander Bogomazov...
