A set of nine commemorative coins is dedicated to the spiritual and cultural monument of the Ukrainian people - the poem “Aeneid” by the outstanding Ukrainian writer Ivan Kotlyarevsky, who founded a new Ukrainian literature with this work. "The Aeneid" is written in living folk language; the life of Ukrainians is depicted in the broad context of language, history, customs, traditions and way of life. The unique individuality of the Ukrainian people is brilliantly captured by the author in cheerful, cheerful images - the Cossacks do not recognize the victory of either earthly or heavenly forces over themselves: nothing can break their patriotic, freedom-loving spirit.
