Description:
Obverse
Above are Ukraine's small coat of arms, the legend УКРАЇНА (Ukraine), the coin issue year 2017 and the coin face value 5/ГРИВЕНЬ (5/hryvnias); there is a fragment of a plate featuring a lion that dates back to the 13th century (Kherson Museum), to the right of which is an image of the plate itself.
Reverse
There is a lion's head, to the right of which is a fragment depicting lions. The fragment comes from a unique slate relief in the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (a famous Kyiv monastery with caves), and dates back to the 11th century. Griffons, centaurs, lions, dragons and other images from antiquity were popular motifs in the decorative art of old Rus principalities. To the right, against the background of the fragment, is the vertical legend ЛЕВ (lion).
