This 10-hryvnia commemorative circulation issue of 2023 reveals the theme of "Antoniv Bridge". The coin is designed as an everyday memory carrier: the recognizable state obverse is combined with a plot reverse, where symbols and inscriptions concentrate the main idea. The composition is readable at first glance and at the same time has details for the collector.
Overse
The obverse retains the classic structure for 10-hryvnia circulation coins: the center is dominated by a large denomination "10", below it is the word "hryvnia" and the year of minting "2023". Above is the small State Emblem of Ukraine, and around the circle is the inscription "Ukraine". The background is filled with micro-relief and ornamental lines that add depth and protect against counterfeiting.
Reverse
The reverse is dedicated to the theme of "Antoniv Bridge". In the center is a panorama of the bridge in perspective with arches, around which a background is built: the wavy Dnieper under the spans. Below or to the side, the geographical contour of the Kherson region is added as a background; the elements are connected by smooth transitions of the relief, thanks to which the light emphasizes the details. The circular inscription completes the composition, creating the feeling of a holistic emblem.
Historical context
The Antoniv Bridge across the Dnieper became one of the key transport hubs of the south. During the war, it acquired symbolic significance: the crossing determined logistics, and its control affected the capabilities of the parties. The commemorative coin captures the bridge as a symbol of the region's resilience and the price the country pays for freedom and infrastructure restoration.
