The coin honors the power of defense and the people thanks to whom the country is held together, in a restrained and very expressive manner. The plot and details of the design emphasize the theme: it is dedicated to the legendary warriors of the Zaporozhian Sich - the Cossacks-Kharakterny. These heroes, covered with mystical glory, were distinguished by unsurpassed skill in battle and possession of weapons, which caused fear among enemies and admiration among allies.
Obverse
The obverse is built as a holistic scenography, where state symbols are combined with images of the issue theme. On the matted field - enemy bullets that bounce off the soldier, without hitting the "Ukrainian soul". On the obverse of the coin, in the center of the composition, a stylized figure of a soldier is shown, who carefully holds in his hands and protects the small State Emblem of Ukraine - a symbol of freedom and independence. Under the coat of arms are the inscriptions UKRAINE, the denomination 5, the graphic symbol of the hryvnia and the year of minting – 2024, on the left side near the military – the sign of the Banknote and Mint of the National Bank of Ukraine. The composition symbolizes the eternal desire of the Ukrainian people to live in their own sovereign state. 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 the central story of the coin: the symbols are arranged so that the plot “comes to life” under different angles of light. The reverse of the coin shows a stylized image of a Cossack-character guarding a bird – a symbol of freedom, visually resembling a trident on a matted field – broken enemy sabers, powerless before the unbreakable love for the native land and the desire for freedom. The composition reflects the connection between modern war and the Ukrainian spirit of the Cossack times. 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 texture of the field shows noticeable relief transitions: from thin strokes to deeper areas that beautifully catch the light when the coin is turned.
