Gold and Silver Bullion Canada and Mint XXI is proud to present you another amazing coin for help Ukrain. At the large steelworks of Azovstal, a relentless Russian attack was met by unyielding Ukrainian resistance for 80 days. Some of them have returned to their homes; others, many more, are still buried beneath Azovstal's remains. This coin is a 2 oz pure silver ode to remembering the heroic feat of the Ukrainian Azov soldiers.* WARRIOR OF AZOVSTAL. Mintage of only 333 pcs made!
 
It started with citizens and troops locked together inside an industrial complex, 'Azovstal' in Mariupol. Around 3,000 Ukrainian forces held back a far more considerable Russian force in a quagmire that caused agony and death. Inside, civilians and soldiers were short of food, weapons, and medicine to treat the dozens of wounded. Enemy ships and artillery units bombarded the facility day and night. Some families managed to leave.
 
However, there was no relief for the Azovstal warriors. The enemy waged siege warfare to force them from their stronghold. The Azov soldiers paid a too-high price.
 
Despite their valiant effort, the situation eventually became intolerable. The Ukrainian military high command was forced to make a difficult decision: to turn defenders up as prisoners of war to save the remaining combatants' lives. 2,500 fighters were transported to a detention camp in a region under Russian authority, where they were subjected to physical and moral abuse for several months.
 
Is this happening in the 21st century? How could the world allow the restoration of a totalitarian regime and the anarchy that suddenly loomed over the land of a sovereign independent state in the very heart of Europe?
 
On this coin, we remember the feat of the defenders of Azovstal, who bravely and fearlessly stood against universal evil. The warrior is wearing a symbolic metallurgical plant armor in high relief that serves as a covert symbol of their endurance. With this iconic 2 oz silver piece, the gallantry and bravery of the Azov troops won't go unrecognized. It’s time to immortalize their deeds with this piece of art.
