The Easter Joy. The Pysanka 2026 coin is an official silver commemorative release issued by the National Bank of Ukraine, celebrating one of the country’s most recognisable cultural traditions  - the art of pysanka egg decorating.

Distinguished by its egg-shaped format, the coin offers a unique interpretation of the traditional Ukrainian pysanka. The design draws inspiration from the ornamental traditions of Polissia, one of Ukraine’s oldest ethnographic regions, combining ancient symbols of light, renewal, fertility, and protection into a visually rich composition.

The obverse is divided into four symbolic sections featuring regional pysanka motifs from Rivne, Volyn, Zhytomyr, and Kyiv regions, while the reverse presents a detailed pysanka with the traditional eight-pointed star ornament associated with spring renewal and prosperity. The use of contrasting red and black colours gives the design exceptional visual presence and strong display appeal.

Struck in .999 fine silver with a pure silver weight of 31.1 g, the coin combines collectible artistry with precious metal value. With only 7,500 pieces released, it stands out as one of the lowest-mintage Ukrainian silver commemoratives of the year and offers strong potential across both retail and collector markets, particularly during the Easter season.
