Ken_3567 Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 04/11/2008 04:41 am Kurt is correct. It is a 1 Hryvnia coin from Ukraine (KM#209). The guy on the reverse of the coin is Volodimir Veliky. The coin composition is Aluminum-Bronze. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 04/11/2008 07:28 am "Veliky" apparently means "the Great". Vladimir the Great was the first Christian king of the Kievan Rus', a proto-Russian nation centred on Kiev, in what is now the Ukraine. The Ukrainian coat of arms is the prominent feature on all Ukrainian coinage. The thing on the shield, which sort-of looks like a trident or winged sword, is the tryzub, an old symbol of the Ukraine, variants of which were used by the rulers of Kiev dating back to Vladimir the Great. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
