The commemorative coin is dedicated to the Ukrainian innovative


 development, which radically changed the tactics of conducting


 combat operations in the Black Sea. Thanks to the operations of the


 Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine,


 these devices destroyed a number of ships of the Black Sea Fleet of


 the Russian Federation, and also for the first time in history hit air


 targets: Mi-8 helicopters and Su-30 fighters. The commemorative coin


 immortalizes the engineering skills of Ukrainian developers and the


 combat feat of the soldiers who turned sea drones into one of the


 most effective weapons in this war. The obverse of the coin on a matte


 background depicts a stylized image of Magura - a character of proto-


Slavic mythology, a bird-woman with spread wings, holding a sword


 and shield. She personifies Mother Glory, Perunitsa - the goddess of


 war, victory and eternal life, the patroness of the Slavic-Rus army. On


 the shield of Magura is the small State Emblem of Ukraine. In the


 upper part of the composition there is the inscription УКРАЇНА, the


 denomination 5 and the graphic sign of the hryvnia, as well as the year


 of minting of the coin – 2025. At the bottom left is the logo of the


 Banknote and Mint of the National Bank of Ukraine.



The reverse of the coin depicts a stylized unmanned surface vehicle


 “Magura”, which is rapidly moving over the waves, demonstrating


 dynamics and accuracy. In the upper part of the composition there is a


 scene of the destruction of the Su-30 fighter with elements of fire and


 explosion, symbolizing effective counteraction to the aggressor at sea


 and in the air. Below is the emblem of the Main Intelligence


 Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, which emphasizes


 the exclusive use of these sea drones by the Group 13 unit, and the


 inscription MAGURA, made in the style of the manufacturer’s logo,


 which emphasizes authenticity, national pride and recognition of the


 achievements of the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex.
