Anna Yaroslavna

The National Bank of Ukraine has put into circulation the commemorative coin Outstanding Personalities of Ukraine series.

The commemorative coin 'Anna Yaroslavna' (Anne of Rus) is dedicated to a Kyiv princess, the middle daughter of the grand prince Yaroslav the Wise. In the late forties of the 11th century she married the king Henry I of France (house of Capet) and, after his death, became the queen regent of their underage son; she participated actively in the government of the country and was in fact the reigning queen. The beautiful, highly educated and wise woman excited admiration of her contemporaries and meritoriously represented Kyiv Rus, a developed power that was held in esteem and played an important role in the international relations of the countries of Europe and the Middle East.
