It is noted that in April 2021, the National Strategy for the creation of a barrier-free space in Ukraine was adopted. This document became the leitmotif for the beginning of large-scale changes in Ukraine. It is calculated until 2030 and provides for the elimination of six types of barriers: physical, social and civil, digital, informational, educational, and economic.
Presenting the coin, Andriy Pishnyi spoke about the National Bank’s efforts to create the most inclusive financial system in the world.
We simply have no choice but to build a barrier-free society. After all, modern Ukraine is a country of heroes and veterans. And together we will definitely overcome this path, the main thing is to implement the principles of equality and barrier-freeness in the financial system every day, step by step, without stopping. To celebrate Ukraine’s progress in building an inclusive society, we created a special commemorative coin. It was dedicated to the entire community that embodies the philosophy of barrier-freeness, who builds a society without restrictions, where every person, regardless of age, gender, health, ethnicity or social status, has equal opportunities for development and self-realization
On the obverse of the coin, in the center, there is a stylized image of a bird with an artificial mechanical wing (prosthesis), which symbolizes freedom, indomitable spirit and the ability to overcome space without obstacles.
On the reverse side of the coin is a stylized image of various people united by a circle: parents, children, elderly people, people who use wheelchairs, people with prosthetics, owners of animals. This composition symbolizes diversity and barrier-freeness, which emphasizes the unity and inclusiveness of society.

Circulation – up to 30,000 pieces in souvenir packaging.
