| Obverse description | The obverse features the emblem of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine at centre: a Maltese-style cross with radiating faceted arms, overlaid by two pairs of crossed sabres in saltire, and bearing a central roundel containing the Ukrainian trident (tryzub) coat of arms. A fleur-de-lis motif surmounts the upper arm of the cross. To the left of the central device appears a small shield bearing the trident, and to the right the denomination '5₴'. The mint mark appears below the central device. The legend 'УКРАЇНА' arcs along the upper rim, the date '2023' is positioned at the lower centre, and the inscription 'ГОЛОВНЕ УПРАВЛІННЯ РОЗВІДКИ' curves along the lower rim, all rendered in Cyrillic. |

| Additional information |
Issued in 2023 as part of Ukraine's ongoing wartime commemorative program, this piece honors the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR), the military intelligence directorate that gained international attention following its covert operations inside Russian territory after the February 2022 invasion. The series of which this forms a part was explicitly designed to sustain domestic morale and document institutional pride during active conflict — an unusual circumstance for a circulating-format commemorative.
The KM#1072 reference places it among a dense cluster of patriotic issues the NBU accelerated sharply post-invasion, releasing more commemoratives in 2022–2023 than in any comparable prior period.
