In the upper portion of the field, an icon of the Blessed Virgin of Zymne is depicted, flanked by images of angels on either side. The central and lower field features a group of venerated figures: Prince Volodymyr the Great and the Apostle Andrew the First-Called jointly holding a cross, accompanied by Saints Anthony and Theodosius of the Caves and the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius. The commemorative inscription 1025-РІЧЧЯ ХРЕЩЕННЯ КИЇВСЬКОЇ РУСІ (1025th Anniversary of the Christianization of Kyivan Rus) arcs across the design. |

Issued to mark the 1025th anniversary of the Christianization of Kyivan Rus, a state conversion traditionally dated to 988 AD when Volodymyr the Great ordered the mass baptism of Kyiv's population in the Dnipro River. The event was less a grassroots spiritual shift than a calculated political alignment with Byzantium, cemented by Volodymyr's marriage to the Byzantine princess Anna — a union Constantinople agreed to only on condition of his baptism.
Ukraine and Russia both claim this conversion as a founding moment of their respective national identities, a tension that makes commemoratives on this theme quietly contentious. The 2013 issue date places it one year before the Maidan revolution.
