The small coat of arms, a stylized flag of Ukraine’s Navy Service of the early 20 century and a contour of the warship on waves are placed on the head side. There is also a vertical sign “Ukraine”, the year of the mintage and the nominal value – ten hryvnias.
A “100” sign against stylized waves are placed on the tail side; a wind rose and a trident laying on the anchor with 1918 and 1920 dates are placed in zeros. The up and down of the coin says “The establishment of Ukraine’s Navy Service”.
