| Reverse description | A highly detailed, gold-plated high-relief depiction of the Saint Sophia Cathedral of Kyiv dominates the central field, its multiple Baroque-style onion domes, ornate facades, arched entrances, and surrounding walls rendered with exceptional sculptural precision. The cathedral complex is set against a mirror-polished background, with flanking subsidiary structures and trees depicted in standard silver relief to either side. To the upper right of the cathedral, a globe-and-orbit 'World Monuments' logo with accompanying legend appears in the field. The curved legend 'UKRAINE – ST SOPHIA CATHEDRAL' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '10 DOLLARS' is inscribed in the lower field. |
