| Reverse description | A finely detailed naturalistic relief of a fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) occupies the central field, depicted in left profile with its characteristic warty, spotted skin rendered with meticulous engraving. The creature's tail curls beneath its body, and its four limbs are clearly articulated against the plain field. A decorative dotted oval border frames the central design. The Cyrillic legend САЛАМАНДРА arcs along the upper rim, while the Latin scientific name SALAMANDRA is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Ukraine's earliest gold bullion issues, produced in the early 2000s, were struck at the Luhansk Mint — an arrangement that ended abruptly when the National Bank shifted production to Kyiv. The 2003 salamander belongs to a short-lived series of fractional gold pieces that saw limited distribution through domestic banking channels, resulting in low actual circulation figures well below stated mintages.
