| Reverse description | The reverse presents an abstract, close-up artistic rendering divided into two distinct zones. The left two-thirds of the field is filled with an intricate guilloche-style pattern of flowing, wave-like engraved lines interspersed with geometric diamond motifs, evoking the texture of traditional Ukrainian woven fabric. The right portion of the field displays a colorized segment of a traditional Ukrainian vyshyvanka (embroidered skirt or apron), rendered in vivid red, green, yellow, and dark blue on a cream ground in a bold checkerboard pattern with cross-shaped floral embroidery motifs. A vertical element divides the two zones, suggesting a silhouette. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

Issued in 2023 as part of Ukraine's ongoing wartime commemorative program, this coin acknowledges the substantial role of women in the Ukrainian armed forces following Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. By mid-2023, women comprised roughly 5% of active Ukrainian military personnel — approximately 43,000 service members — with thousands serving in direct combat roles, a scale unprecedented in Ukrainian military history.
