This 10-hryvnia commemorative circulation issue of 2025 reveals the theme of "National Guard 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 "2025". 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 the "National Guard of Ukraine". In the center is an emblem with a cross and a trident, around which a background is built: sunbeams behind the guard's badge. A ribbon with the service inscription is added below or on the side; the elements are connected by smooth relief transitions, thanks to which the light emphasizes the details. The circular inscription completes the composition, creating the feeling of a holistic emblem-sign.
Historical context

Its units fight alongside the Armed Forces of Ukraine, cover the rear and protect critical infrastructure.
