Obverse descriptionAbove is Ukraine`s small coat of arms, below which is the legend УКРАЇНА/ 5 ГРИВЕНЬ (Ukraine/5 Hryvnias); to the right is the issue year 2017. Against a smooth background is a cross, to the left of which is a conventionalized page from the Bible translated into German by Martin Luther. The Bible`s decorative marker, with a Ukrainian ornament, symbolizes Ukraine`s involvement in the Reformation. To the right of the cross are the five theses that are central to this movement: ТІЛЬКИ/ПИСАННЯ/ ТІЛЬКИ/ВІРА/ ТІЛЬКИ/БЛАГОДАТЬ/ ТІЛЬКИ/ХРИСТОС/ ТІЛЬКИ/БОГОВІ СЛАВА (Scripture/alone/ faith/alone/ grace/alone/ Christ/alone/ Praise be/to God alone). The mint mark of the NBU Banknote Printing and Minting Works is below to the right.
