The coin honors the defense force and the people who keep the country going — discreetly and very expressively. The plot and design details emphasize the theme: dedicated to the military intelligence of Ukraine - a high-tech and highly intellectual component of the security and defense forces of Ukraine, which reliably stands in defense of the national interests of our state.
Obverse
On the obverse, the composition is readable at first glance: the official attributes of the state and the details of the plot work as a single whole. The obverse of the coin is notable: in the center on a matte field – the emblem of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, on the left side of it – the small State Emblem of Ukraine, on the right side – the denomination 5 and the graphic symbol of the hryvnia, the inscriptions: UKRAINE (in an arc in the upper part), 2023/MAIN INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT (below) the sign of the Banknote and Mint of the National Bank of Ukraine (on the left side of the emblem). The plasticity of the lines and strict inscriptions give the design a sense of composure, and the plot sounds like a sign of gratitude and strength. The state emblem in the composition sets the official tone and balances the decorative elements. The corporate emblem of the Banknote and Mint of the NBU emphasizes the official origin of the issue.
Reverse
The reverse is dominated by a thematic motif, complemented by inscriptions and details that emphasize the idea of the issue. The reverse of the coin shows: around the circumference the inscription: MILITARY INTELLIGENCE OF UKRAINE and the motto of the military intelligence officers in Latin SAPIENS DOMINABITUR ASTRIS (“The wise will rule over the stars”) in the center – a stylized composition: against the background of the surface of the globe, an owl is depicted holding a sword (on its hilt is a small State Emblem of Ukraine), which pierces the outlines of the territory of the aggressor country. The plasticity of the lines and strict inscriptions give the design a collectedness, and the plot sounds like a sign of gratitude and strength. The state emblem in the composition sets the official tone and balances the decorative elements. In the texture of the field, relief transitions are noticeable: from thin strokes to deeper areas that beautifully catch the light when the coin is turned.
Historical context

The symbolism of emblems, slogans and equipment captures recent history as a memory of professionalism, discipline and the price of freedom.
