| Reverse description | The reverse presents a right-facing portrait bust of the Ukrainian-French biologist Illia Mechnikov, positioned to the right of the field. To the left, a semicircular Cyrillic legend reads ІЛЛЯ МЕЧНИКОВ (Illia Mechnikov), and the dates 1845–1916, denoting his years of birth and death, appear in the lower field. The composition is asymmetric, with open space in the left field balancing the portrait, in keeping with the artistic style of the Ukrainian commemorative coin series. |
