| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized prora — the ship's prow motif commonly found on ancient Greek and Roman coinage — prominently rendered to the left of the field as a symbol of seafaring antiquity. To the upper right, an ancient sailing vessel is depicted in relief against an open field. The lower register is occupied by a broad meander band bearing the two-line Cyrillic inscription АНТИЧНЕ СУДНОПЛАВСТВО (Antique Navigation), integrating the decorative classical border with the coin's thematic lettering. |

Ukraine's National Bank issued this piece as part of a broader series celebrating the history of navigation and seafaring along the Black Sea and Dnipro river trade routes — corridors that connected Kyiv Rus merchants to Byzantine markets as early as the 9th century. The series drew quiet criticism from numismatic historians for compressing several distinct maritime traditions into a single thematic program.
KM#665 is among the mid-series strikes, produced at the Kyiv mint during a period when Ukraine was significantly expanding its commemorative silver output ahead of the 2012 UEFA European Championship, which strained mint scheduling that year.
