The Ukrainian “Bavovna.” The Palianytsia Missile-Drone coin is an official commemorative release issued by the National Bank of Ukraine, dedicated to one of the most important technological developments of Ukraine’s modern defence industry.

This 5 UAH issue honours the Palianytsia missile-drone - Ukraine’s first domestically developed long-range strike system powered by a turbojet engine. Developed during full-scale war, the system became a symbol of Ukraine’s rapid military innovation and drew international attention as a new generation of long-range precision capability.

The obverse features a stylised Palianytsia missile-drone striking a serpent, while the reverse depicts a strike on enemy fuel and energy infrastructure. The direct visual language and recognisable “Bavovna” branding make the coin immediately relevant and easy for collectors to connect with.

Struck in german silver in special uncirculated quality, the coin combines strong topical relevance with accessible pricing and broad collector appeal. With only 50,000 pieces released, it is well positioned within the fast-growing category of modern wartime commemoratives.
