Made by natives of Bucha
In memory of our brothers and sisters
The main feature of this coin is that it was made directly by the participants of this tragedy. We are the natives of Bucha, two friends who suffered during the occupation of our city. We developed the design of the coin and brought our idea to life. A little later, got very excited about this idea, we decided to make 4 types of coins with different coatings and create unique cases for them. Cases are also designed and created by us, and every coin has a case.
Obverse
This is the Сoat of Arms of our Bucha. It represents the family
tree of Bucha with strong roots, that arose from merging four
towns, which were scattered around the railway station the symbol
of development and progress. There are oak leaves around the
crest, as a symbol of indomitable spirit, wisdom and strength of
Ukrainians.
The Сoat of Arms is surmounted by the crown as a symbol of the
aristocratic origin of the city. For the first time, the
possession of these lands by the Polish nobleman Lyasoti was
mentioned in 1630, where people lived and worked for the
well-being of the inhabitants of their native city for many years.
Reverse
This side of the coin contains three main symbols that the inhabitants of Bucha will be remembered for years to come:
- our church as a symbol of hope that nobody will forget the many victims who were our neighbors and were buried in the backyard of the church;
- bicycle, as a symbol of a senseless cruelty, when a man was killed while riding his bike home;
- growing tree, as a symbol of new life, a symbol of hope and faith that everything was not in vain, that life will become better and in the future all people all over the world will live without violence.
