This 10-hryvnia commemorative circulation issue of 2025 reveals the theme "Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces 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.
Obverse
The obverse retains the classic structure for 10-hryvnia circulation coins: the large denomination "10" dominates in the center, 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 "The Forces of Unmanned Systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine". In the center is the silhouette of a quadcopter above a coordinate grid, around which the background is built: a propeller and an aiming marker. Below or to the side, the contours of the drone in flight dynamics are 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
Unmanned systems have changed the battlefield: reconnaissance, fire adjustment, observation and pinpoint strikes have become faster and more accurate. Operators and engineers adapt the equipment to the conditions every day, increasing the efficiency of units. The coin captures the technological dimension of defense and the contribution of teams working on the edge of innovation.
