The National Bank of Ukraine have issued (11th January) two new coin denominations which were minted in support of the Ukrainian Winter Olympics team who are on their way to the XXIII Winter Olympiad, set to be hosted by the city of PyeongChang, South Korea. The first Ukrainian Winter Olympics team participated as an independent nation in the 1994 Games which were hosted in Lillehammer, Norway, and have participated in every Winter Olympiad since.

The coins are minted in silver and cupro-nickel and were produced by the Mint of Ukraine on behalf of the National Bank of Ukraine. The obverse side of the coins was designed by Volodymyr Taran, Alexander Kharu, and Sergey Haruk and includes a stylised torch in the form of the Roman numeral “XXI??.” They also feature a holographic image on the silver coins and a colourised flame on the base metal version. The flame is one of the symbols of the Olympic Games. On the left of the primary design is the small state emblem of Ukraine, above which is the inscription, ???????, and the year of issue of the coin, 2018. On the right side is a collection of stylised snowflakes and the face value of 2 or 10, for the cupro-nickel and silver issues, respectively.
