Obverse descriptionStylized image of the Moscow missile cruiser with a hole in the hull, sunk thanks to the skill of Ukrainian military by R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles. The “invulnerable” flagship of the russian Black Sea Fleet is stylized as a children’s paper ship. This especially contrasts with the myth of the ship’s power based on its size and weapons. The ship’s deckhouse depicts the outline of the kremlin tower with the broken teeth of the kremlin wall, symbolizing the collapse of russia’s imperial ambitions.

Reverse descriptionThere is a Neptune coastal mobile missile system at the moment of missile launch. This system is in service with the Ukrainian Navy, as indicated by the emblem in the upper left. Against a smooth background is the stylized trident of Neptune, the god of the seas, symbolizing the indomitable Ukrainian spirit that deftly pierces enemy targets. Above, to the right, is the legend NEPTUNE, which runs parallel with the missile.
