On the obverse of the 2016 1/10 oz Ukrainian Gold Archangel Michael Coin you’ll find the image of Saint Michael. Known as the leader of the army of God, it is his duty to lead the forces of good in epic battles against evil to protect the children of God. For the Ukrainian people, Michael is viewed as the honored protector of the capital city and estate of Ukraine.

The reverse of these coins includes an image of the coat of arms for the nation of Ukraine. Located in Eastern Europe on the very border between Europe and Russia, Ukraine has long been in the sphere of influence for the Russians. These coins are issued by the National Bank of Ukraine, which engraves its name on the reverse in Ukrainian. All engravings on the obverse and reverse are in the native Ukrainian tongue.

Coins in this condition have no signs of wear and tear, though it is possible that breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from the production process are present on the surfaces of the coin.

The Silver Archangel Michael coin was introduced by the National Bank of Ukraine in 2011, along with the Gold Archangel Michael coin, as an annual release coin. These coins, like many other national sovereign bullion coin programs, are released each year without change to the obverse or reverse designs in use.

The National Bank of Ukraine was established in 1992 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, but its headquarters long served as a central bank for the nation even within the Soviet Union dating back to 1934.
