| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized relief representation of a recumbent deer rendered in the characteristic Scythian Animal Style, faithfully reproducing an ancient gold artifact from the pre-Christian nomadic culture of the Eurasian steppes. The animal is shown in a folded, crouching posture with its elaborately stylized antlers sweeping horizontally across the upper field, their tines rendered as a row of rounded lobes. The body of the deer occupies the lower central field, conveying monumental sculptural quality despite the coin's small format. The Cyrillic inscription СКІФСЬКЕ ЗОЛОТО (Scythian Gold) curves along the lower rim, identifying the commemorative series to which this issue belongs. |

| Additional information |
Part of Ukraine's long-running small-format gold wildlife series, this issue belongs to a program the National Bank launched in the mid-2000s to produce bullion-adjacent collector pieces at accessible price points. Mintages for individual animal types in the series routinely ran between 5,000 and 10,000 pieces, though precise figures varied by year and subject.
The Frì reference places it firmly within the modern Ukrainian gold collector coinage catalogued by Friedberg. Cross-referencing Zahreba's specialized Ukrainian numismatic catalog remains the more reliable source for this series, as KM coverage of post-Soviet Ukrainian issues has historically lagged the specialist literature.
