| Obverse description | At center, against an embossed flame background, stands the figure of a Euromaidan protest participant positioned beneath a large bell motif, with the legend УКРАЇНА arching above along the upper rim. To the right of the central figure, the Small Coat of Arms of Ukraine is displayed in relief, while to the left appears the denomination 5 / ГРИВЕНЬ and the issue year 2015, accompanied by the mint mark of the National Bank of Ukraine Banknote Printing and Minting Works. Color printing is applied to highlight key design elements, enhancing the commemorative character of the composition. The overall design integrates symbolic imagery of the Euromaidan events within a structured, layered field typical of Ukrainian commemorative coinage. |

| Additional information |
Issued less than a year after the Maidan protests ended with over a hundred demonstrators killed, this coin commemorates the events of late 2013 through early 2014 when protesters occupied Kyiv's Independence Square for months in sustained opposition to Viktor Yanukovych's suspension of EU integration talks. Yanukovych fled to Russia in February 2014 — the same month Russian forces began the annexation of Crimea.
The National Bank issued this as part of its ongoing commemorative circulation series, struck in nickel brass rather than precious metal, deliberately keeping it accessible. The "Revolution of Dignity" framing was the official Ukrainian government designation adopted almost immediately after the events concluded.
