Reverse description
Surrounded by sunrays is a composition made of tridents that symbolizes Ukraine’s historical heritage – from the two-pronged symbol of Sviatoslav the Brave, to tridents on gold and silver coins of the Kyiv State, symbols used during Ukraine’s liberation struggle in 1917–1921, and up to the modern symbol of Ukraine – its coat of arms (latent image); to the left is the legend НАШЕ КОРІННЯ (our roots)
