| Obverse description | The central vignette reproduces the photograph 'Ukrainian soldiers are hoisting a flag' by Oleksandr Smirnov, in which three Ukrainian servicemen raise the national state flag against a composite underprint of fragmented cartographic outlines of Ukraine. Flanking the central image are the flags of Ukraine's allied nations — the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States of America, and Canada — integrated into the background design. Bilingual inscriptions in Ukrainian and English run across the note, accompanied by the issuer's name, denomination, and the patriotic legend СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ / ГЕРОЯМ СЛАВА. |

| Reverse description | The central allegorical composition, designed by Serhii Mishakin, portrays a figure with hands bound behind the back set against crumpled cloth, evoking the physical and psychological suffering of Ukrainians under occupation; a bullet wound rendered in the form of a poppy flower is visible on the figure's torso. Stylized wings composed of candle flames extend to either side, while above the figure, against an underprint of destroyed building silhouettes, a crown of thorns symbolises martyrdom. To the right, a security vignette combines a guilloché rose with an anti-tank hedgehog motif. |
