Look familiar? It should, the design on the reverse of the medal is the precursor to the design on the reverse of the Archangel bullion series which began in 2011. The 2008 medal was designed by Sviatoslav Ivanenko. There are some slight differences between the designs, such as the sword, removal of the shield on the bullion series and the wings, to name a few. The 2008 medal tends to have more detailing especially in the facial features and is a better executed design overall. The bullion series design was done by Volodymyr Taran and twin brothers Serhii and Oleksandr Kharuk.
This medal was issued to commemorate the 900th anniversary of the St. Michael's Golden Domed Monastery originally built in 1108 by Prince Sviatopolk II Iziaslavich. The medal was struck at the NBU BPMW and is comprised of .925 Ag with a diameter of 50mm and a weight of 62.2g. The rim is smooth with the legend Ag 925 62.2 and the logotype of the BPMW.
