The coin is dedicated to Sviatohirsky Assumption Monastery, a famous
architectural and historical monument (17th - 19th cc),
which in 2004 was given the Lavra status. The monastery, founded by the bottom
of hills on the right bank of the Siversky Donets river, was first mentioned
for the year 1624. The principle role in its architectural composition is
played by St.Nicolas church (17th c.), the most ancient
temple of the monastery, the main part of which is located inside a rock.
