Obverse: In the original 2011 design, at the top is a small coat of arms of Ukraine with the semicircular inscription "НАЦІОНАЛЬНИЙ БАНК УКРАЇНИ" (National Bank of Ukraine). At the center of the coin, inside an octagonal cartouche, there is a shield with the emblem of the National Bank of Ukraine. There is also the coin face value, coin issue year, as well as the indications of the metal and its fineness and coin weight in fineness. At the bottom of the coin, it is inscribed in Ukrainian the value of the coin. On the one-ounce silver coin, it is inscribed with "ОДНА ГРИВНЯ" (one hryvnia).[1]
Reverse: Depicted is the Taxiarch Archangel Michael. He is depicted here as a warrior, wearing full armor and holding a sword in his right hand. There is the circular inscription "…ЗА НАС І ДУШІ ПРАВЕДНИХ, І СИЛА АРХІСТРАТИГА МИХАЇЛА". Which translates into "...For us and souls of righteous men, and Archistrategos Michael's strength", from Taras Shevchenko's Ukrainian poem Haydamaky.[1]
