| Reverse description | The reverse presents a boldly stylized depiction of a rooster rendered in the traditional lubok folk-printing style, set within a conventionalized floral ornament that frames the central composition. A genuine yellow cubic zirconia gemstone is inlaid as the rooster's eye, providing a distinctive three-dimensional accent to the design. Arranged in an arc above and below the central rooster image are schematic representations of all twelve symbols of the Chinese zodiac calendar. The overall composition reflects a synthesis of Ukrainian folk-decorative art and East Asian iconographic tradition commemorating the lunar Year of the Rooster. |

Part of Ukraine's ongoing lunar calendar series, this issue marks the Year of the Rooster in the twelve-year cycle — a series the National Bank of Ukraine has produced consistently since the early 2000s, targeting both domestic collectors and the broader Eastern European numismatic market. Ukraine's lunar issues are struck in relatively modest quantities and are rarely encountered in secondary market circulation, spending most of their lives in presentation packaging.
