This coin celebrates the deep-rooted traditions of Christmas celebrations in Ukraine, which serve as an inexhaustible source of spiritual strength and national unity. In Ukrainian tradition, Christmas is a sacred season filled with family comfort, warmth, and gratitude. It is a time when the entire family gathers at the festive table to share kutia (traditional Ukrainian Christmas porridge) and wish one another peace and harmony. On Christmas Eve (called Sviatyi Vechir (Holy Evening) in Ukrainian), the didukh (wheat sheaves) – a talisman that protects the family and its well-being and a symbol of the harvest and the spirit of ancestors – is placed in the corner of honor (called pokut in Ukrainian), while the twelve meatless dishes placed on the table represent the new year. The spirit of Christmas comes alive in every home where carolers bring the light of hope and God’s blessings, uniting generations in shared prayer, reverence for eternal values, and the preservation of traditions.

Obverse: in the center is a stylized depiction of a straw didukh – a traditional attribute of a Ukrainian Christmas (decorated with local gilding). The base of the didukh is adorned with a straw angel, symbolizing protection and the Good News. The background of the composition is divided into two planes resembling a window illuminated by starlight on Christmas Eve. At the center of one of the stars (on the left), a diamond shines, symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem. Above is the legend УКРАЇНА (Ukraine); beneath is the coin’s issue year 2025; to the left is Ukraine’s small state coat-of-arms; and to the right are the coin’s face value 10 and the graphic symbol of the hryvnia.

Reverse: a traditional Christmas Eve family meal, radiating warmth and comfort, is depicted. The figures of the father, mother, and children are visually identified with celestial bodies (decorated with local gilding): the haloes around their heads symbolize the Sun (the wife), the Moon (the husband), and the stars (their children). Before the family stands a table set with twelve dishes, including kutia, varenyky (dumplings), pampukhy (doughnuts), fish, and other traditional treats, as well as cloves of garlic – a talisman to ward off evil spirits.Reverse: a traditional Christmas Eve family meal, radiating warmth and comfort, is depicted.

This coin celebrates diplomacy – an instrument for realizing national interests and conducting foreign policy through dialogue, negotiations, and the maintenance of a responsible balance between state principles and political realities. Diplomacy is an integral part of the state-building process. It secures Ukraine’s position within the global system of international relations, while bolstering its sovereignty, security, and international agency. The Ukrainian diplomatic tradition has evolved over centuries – from Cossack diplomatic missions and Hetman universals to the modern, multi-vector diplomacy of an independent state – grounded in the continuity of political thought, accountability for state decisions, and the capacity for strategic equilibrium.

Obverse: there is a stylized image of an olive branch – an ancient symbol of peace and good neighborliness. Under the composition are Ukraine’s small state coat-of-arms, the coin’s face value 5, the graphic symbol of the hryvnia, the legend УКРАЇНА (Ukraine), the coin’s issue year – 2025, and the mint mark of the NBU’s Banknote Printing and Minting Works.

The reverse symbolically portrays diplomacy as a distinct art of balance and interaction. Intertwining lines at the top of the composition convey the complexity of international relations, where every decision is a synergy of dialogue, compromise, and mutual responsibility. A triangle visually emphasizes the stability of the foundation of diplomatic activity. The central element of the composition is a trace drawing of the seal of the Zaporozhian Host from 1648–1649, serving as a reminder of the historical depth of the Ukrainian diplomatic tradition and its deep roots in the state-building practices of the past.

This coin celebrates a Ukrainian innovative development that has fundamentally changed the tactics of warfare in the Black Sea. Thanks to operations conducted by the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, these vessels have destroyed a number of ships belonging to the russian Black Sea Fleet and, for the first time in history, successfully struck aerial targets: Mi-8 helicopters and Su-30 fighter jets. The coin immortalizes the engineering mastery of the MAGURA’s Ukrainian developers and the combat valor of Ukraine’s soldiers, who have transformed these naval drones into one of the most effective weapons in this war.

Obverse: against a matte background, is a stylized image of Magura – a character from early Slavic mythology, a bird-woman with spread wings, holding a sword and a shield. She embodies Mother Glory and Perunytsia – the goddess of war, victory, and eternal life, and the patroness of the Slavic-Rus army. On Magura’s shield is Ukraine’s small state coat-of-arms. Above are the legend УКРАЇНА (Ukraine), the coin’s face value 5, the graphic symbol of the hryvnia, and the coin’s issue year – 2025. Beneath, to the left, is the mint mark of the NBU’s Banknote Printing and Minting Works.

Reverse: there is a stylized MAGURA unmanned surface vessel moving swiftly across the waves, demonstrating dynamic motion and precision. In the upper part of the composition is a scene showing the destruction of a Su-30 fighter jet, with elements of fire and explosion, symbolizing the effective counteraction against the invaders both at sea and in the air. Below is the emblem of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, emphasizing the exclusive use of these naval drones by the Group 13 unit. The legend MAGURA is rendered in the style of the manufacturer’s logo, underscoring the authenticity, national pride, and recognition of the achievements of the Ukrainian defense sector.
