A shield with the state coat of arms of Ukraine, plants on either side, oak leaf in front. Two ears of wheat behind. The country name at the top. Year of the issue below.

The state coat of arms of Ukraine is the Tryzub (trident). The modern "trident" symbol was adopted as the coat of arms of the Ukrainian People's Republic in February 1918. The design has precedents in seals of the Kiyivan Rus'. The first known archeological and historical evidence of this symbol can be found on the seals of the Rurik dynasty. It was stamped on the gold and silver coins issued by Prince Volodymyr the Great (980–1015).
