| Reverse description | The reverse features a left-facing portrait of Mykhailo Hrushevsky set against a background depicting the Central Rada House in Kyiv (now the Teachers' House), the seat of the Ukrainian People's Republic where Hrushevsky served as its first president from 1917 to 1918. The legend МИХАЙЛО appears to the left of the portrait and ГРУШЕВСЬКИЙ to the right, both following the coin's curvature, with the dates 1866-1934 denoting his years of birth and death inscribed within the design. |

| Additional information |
Hrushevsky was the first president of the short-lived Ukrainian People's Republic, serving in 1918 before Soviet forces ended the experiment entirely. His rehabilitation in Ukrainian public memory was a deliberate act of post-independence nation-building — he had spent decades as a non-person under Soviet historiography. This coin appeared four years after independence, when the karbovanets itself was already being phased out in favor of the hryvnia, meaning the denomination it carries was obsolete almost immediately after striking.
