| Obverse description | At upper left, a semicircular Cyrillic legend reads УКРАЇНА (Ukraine), below which the year of issue 2018 and Ukraine's small state coat of arms (trident) appear in the field. The central design features a stylized composition of two male hands gripping weapons from different historical periods, symbolizing the continuity of Ukraine's defenders across the ages, set against a smooth field. Flanking the central motif are the patriotic inscriptions ЗА ЧЕСТЬ! ЗА СЛАВУ! ЗА НАРОД! (For Honor! For Glory! For the People!). At lower left, against the backdrop of a conventionalized shield fragment, the face value 10 ГРИВЕНЬ is inscribed. The mint mark of the NBU Banknote Printing and Minting Works appears to the lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized scene depicting a Ukrainian soldier — one of the so-called 'Cyborgs' — positioned in the foreground against the background of the partially destroyed control tower of Donetsk International Airport, above which a Ukrainian national flag flies. To the right, bullet-riddled metal structural elements occupy the field, beside a vertical inscription reading КІБОРГИ. UA / 26•05•2014 / 21•01•2015, commemorating the call sign of the defenders and the dates marking the beginning and end of the siege. The overall composition is rendered in a bold, conventionalized artistic style befitting a commemorative issue honoring military sacrifice. |
