Obverse

Depicts a small-size national coat of arms of Ukraine, year of minting below in a traditional and ornamental Ukrainian style frame. Value in the centre, the logo of the National Bank of Ukraine Mint on the right.

The state coat of arms of Ukraine is the Tryzub (trident). The modern "trident" symbol was adopted as the coat of arms of the Ukrainian People's Republic in February 1918. The design has precedents in seals of the Kiyivan Rus'. The first known archeological and historical evidence of this symbol can be found on the seals of the Rurik dynasty. It was stamped on the gold and silver coins issued by Prince Volodymyr the Great (980–1015).

Zynoviy Bohdan Khmelnytsky (c. 1595 – 1657) was a Polish–Lithuanian-born Hetman of the Zaporozhian Host of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (now part of Ukraine). He led an uprising against the Commonwealth and its magnates (1648–1654) that resulted in the creation of a state led by the Cossacks of Ukraine. In 1654, he concluded the Treaty of Pereyaslav with the Tsardom of Russia.
