1020th ANNIVERSARY OF BAPTIZING OF RUS.
The definitive Christianisation of Kiev dates from the late 980s, when Vladimir the Great was baptized at Chersonesos, proceeding to baptize his family and people in Kiev.
In 2008 National Bank of Ukraine also issued two coins dedicated to 1020th Anniversary of Baptizing of Rus – 5 and 100 Hryvnias.
