| Reverse description | The central field depicts a detailed relief map of Ukraine showing internal regional boundaries, with the Ukrainian trident emblem (tryzub) displayed prominently above the map at the top of the inner circle. An open book, symbolizing the Red Book of Ukraine (the national register of endangered species), is depicted below the map. The Cyrillic legend ЧЕРВОНА КНИГА УКРАЇНИ (Red Book of Ukraine) curves along the upper rim, and the denomination 1 ЗЛОТНИК appears along the lower rim, flanked by decorative foliate ornaments. A small mintmark К appears between the legend and denomination. |

The zlotnik was a pre-metric unit of weight used across the Russian Empire, equal to roughly 4.266 grams, and its revival here as a denomination name is a deliberate nod to Ukrainian numismatic heritage rather than any functional currency unit — these brass pieces circulate as collectibles, not tender. The Black Sea bottlenose dolphin population, which prompted this issue, has been under documented stress since Soviet-era industrial fishing drastically reduced fish stocks in the 1970s and 80s.
