On the heels of a very successful 2008 Ukrainian National Credit Union Association calendar featuring Ukrainian paper money, the 2009 calendar is dedicated to Ukrainian commemorative coins. The resulting collaboration between Dmytro Doblevych and Mykola Hryhorczuk, Detroit Chapter UPNS member, is beautifully illustrated month after month, worthy of hanging on any wall in your home or at your office. This calendar is sure to please both the avid numismatist and admirer of Ukrainian art alike.
The pages include the following:
| January | Ritual Holidays in Ukraine |
| February | Coins showing Ukraine’s participation in the Olympics |
| March | From a series “Outstanding Personalities of Ukraine” in theatrical arts |
| April | Christianization of Ukraine and coins from a series “Royal Ukraine” |
