The coin is dedicated to a Ukrainian musical instrument made in a form of
wooden cylinder, one side of which is covered with leather with a hair
flock from a horse-tail attached to it. Its twitching makes a sound similar
to bull roar. Such bass instrument is used in folk groups to create
funny effects.
