Silver Medal 2026 – Chernobyl Disaster: 40th Anniversary

2026 marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most significant and tragic accidents in the history of nuclear energy—the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident. This silver medal commemorates this momentous event and serves as a reminder of the fragility and value of human life.

The medal conveys a disturbing atmosphere—abandoned buildings, silent landscapes, and the ominous presence of protective gear, which has become a symbol of invisible danger. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the design is enhanced with a Space Green effect, lending it a stark, futuristic feel that evokes associations with radiation, pollution, and the ominous glow of the exclusion zone. The medal also features a Glow in the Dark effect—without any lights, it reveals an even more dramatic atmosphere, as if the history of Chernobyl continues to echo in the darkness.
