| Reverse description | The reverse bears a portrait of Petro Mohyla rendered after an 18th-century painting by an unknown artist, now preserved in the National Museum of the History of Ukraine. The bust-length effigy is shown in three-quarter view, dressed in the robes and vestments of a metropolitan, and holding a baton of ecclesiastical office. Above the baton, a three-line inscription gives the subject's name ПЕТРО МОГИЛА and his life dates 1596–1647. The portrait is set within the coin's field with minimal decorative framing, in keeping with the commemorative character of the issue. |

| Additional information |
Petro Mohyla — the 17th-century Metropolitan of Kyiv — founded the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy in 1632, the first institution of higher learning in Eastern Europe operating on a Western collegiate model. The academy trained generations of Orthodox clergy and intellectuals across the region, and its influence on Ukrainian ecclesiastical and intellectual life persisted well into the imperial Russian period, when Catherine II regarded it with deep suspicion.
This was among the earliest issues in Ukraine's commemorative silver program, struck just five years after independence.
