The history
of coins with images of mammals in Ukraine is reviewed.
Since 1998, 22 coins have been issued (excluding
the silver and nickel silver), which form 5 series.
The principal ones are the "Flora and Fauna
series" (including Nature Reserve Fund objects)
and "Fauna in Cultural Monuments of Ukraine",
nevertheless fauna objects are presented in several
other series. In particular, mammals are featured
in the series "Various" (e.g., "Year
of Bat"), "The Smallest Gold Coin"
(e.g., "Marmot", "Hedgehog",
and "Boar" and "Deer" in sub-series
"Scythian Gold") and "Monuments of
Ancient Cultures of Ukraine" (picture Scythian
deer in sub-series "Scythia"). The zoological
accuracy of the images, the series' similarity with
series from other countries (e.g., Belarusian coins
depicting bison, Russian coins with images of sand
mole-rat and other rare species) and the issue dynamics,
which has a slight tendency to increase in number
of coin types, are analysed.
