The coin is dedicated to
Baturyn, the capital city of such Ukrainian Hetmans of the Left Bank Ukraine,
as: D.Mnohohrishny, I.Samoilovych, I.Mazepa and K.Rozumovsky. Starting since
1669 governmental institutions had been functioning in the city and
representatives of the Cossack managerial staff lived there. Destroyed in 1708
on the order of Russian Czar Peter the First, Baturyn was restored to life
again and for the second but the last time became the capital city of the
Cossack state under ruling of Hetman Kyrylo Rozumovsky, remaining forever
the symbol of the national statehood.
