This coin celebrates the centenary of the first Ukrainian radio broadcaster, which has been operating continuously since 1924. Radio Ukraine is the oldest radio station in the country, an important strategic broadcaster and a platform for uniting Ukrainians. Over the last century, it has gained the trust of generations of listeners and has become a public institution that informs, entertains, educates and consolidates citizens both inside and outside the country.

 

In the center of the composition is Ukraine’s small coat of arms, framed with semicircles of the repeated phrase ГОВОРИТЬ КИЇВ (Kyiv speaking) on the right, emphasizing the historical and contemporary role of Kyiv as a communications center. This element also depicts a stylized fragment of the contact line and the propagation of radio waves over the occupied territories, symbolizing the importance of Radio Ukraine in defending national identity and countering enemy propaganda. Above is the legend УКРАЇНА (Ukraine), to the left of which are the coin’s face value 5 and the graphic symbol of the hryvnia (placed horizontally) and the coin’s issue year – 2024 (placed vertically); under this composition is the mint mark of the NBU’s Banknote Printing and Minting Works.

 

There is a stylized depiction of the propagation of radio waves, the source of which is the dot above the Ukrainian letter “i” in the Ukrainian word “радіо” (radio). This letter is depicted as a kind of mast, which symbolizes the identification of Radio Ukraine. Below the composition is the legend УКРАЇНСЬКЕ РАДІО 1924 (Radio Ukraine 2024), which stands for the year when the largest radio network in Ukraine was founded.
