Below the map, an open book is depicted in relief, symbolising the Red Data Book of Ukraine (Червона книга України). The Ukrainian trident (tryzub) state emblem appears at the top of the field above the map. The legend "ЧЕРВОНА КНИГА УКРАЇНИ" (Red Book of Ukraine) arcs along the upper rim in Cyrillic, and the denomination "1 ЗЛОТНИК" is inscribed along the lower rim, flanked by small decorative floral ornaments. |

| Additional information |
The LSSDB "Topaz" is the Ukrainian defense enterprise responsible for producing military electronics and ordnance components, most publicly associated with the Kolchuga passive radar system. Beginning around 2022, several Ukrainian defense-linked organizations began issuing unofficial commemorative brass pieces — sometimes called "combat tokens" or military zlotniki — as a form of unit morale currency and fundraising instrument, circulating outside any official monetary framework. The "Crimean Scorpion" designation almost certainly references the 12th Special Forces Brigade or associated Black Sea operational units.
