Dedicated to the courage of the Ukrainian nation. Ukrainians stop tanks with their bare hands, participate in rallies and demonstrations, defend their self-identity and independence, rescue people and animals, day and night, and work tirelessly every day, under fire, without power and water for their future, for their life, for the prosperity of their country, and for victory – the victory of light over darkness, because Ukraine is a country of brave people. Each Ukrainian embodies courage!

The obverse of the nickel silver coin features a stylized composition symbolizing the courage of the Ukrainian people to be on the cutting edge of global history and to create this history: against a matte background is a smooth blade; above is Ukraine’s small coat of arms; beneath, to the right are the legend УКРАЇНА (Ukraine), the coin’s issue year – 2023, the coin’s face value 5 and the graphic symbol of the hryvnia. To the left of the blade is the mint mark of the NBU’s Banknote Printing and Minting Works.

Reverse: against a smooth background is a stylized composition that stands for the phenomenon of Ukrainian courage and heroic resistance: In the center of the composition is a star (the star is gold-plated on the silver coin), which started to shine thanks to the courage and determination of Ukrainians. This courage has destroyed the “set-in-stone” imperial ambitions of the enemy – ambitions that had long been cultivated and nurtured. In the center is the following legend: СМІЛИВІСТЬ БУТИ. UA (The Courage To Be. UA).
