Description:
The commemorative coin is dedicated to
Sevastopol, the special-status city, which is honored as a hero city and is
located in the north west of the Crimean peninsula, on the coast of the unique
Sevastopol Bay. The city’s history dates back to the age of antiquity,
represented by the ruins of Tauric Chersonese, the antique and Byzantine city.
According to one of the versions, Kyiv Prince Volodymyr was baptized on the
territory of present-day Chersonese (referred to as Korsun in the Ancient Rus
sources), which makes it a sacred place for Ukrainian Orthodox Christianity.
The Russian Federation treacherously occupied the Autonomous Republic of Crimea
and the City of Sevastopol in 2014. Ukraine and the international community
have not recognized the forced annexation of Crimea and consider the peninsula
as a temporarily occupied territory.
