This 10-hryvnia commemorative circulation issue of 2023 reveals the theme "PPO - a reliable shield of Ukraine". 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 "Air Defense - a reliable shield of Ukraine". In the center are radar circles and a guidance beam, around which a background is built: the silhouette of an anti-aircraft complex under the dome of the shield. Below or to the side, an intercepted trajectory in the form of a broken line is added; 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
Air defense has become a shield for cities and critical infrastructure, repelling attacks from the air every day. The theme of the coin emphasizes the role of radars, calculations and equipment that save lives and ensure the work of the rear. This issue is about the invisible but constant service that allows the country to breathe and maintain the pace of recovery.
