Commemorative coin "Digital State"
The obverse of the coin depicts the small State Emblem of Ukraine surrounded by an electronic network that symbolizes Ukraine as a single digital system. This composition embodies the monolithic and integrity of the state, which has united all aspects of citizens' lives with the help of the latest technologies. The network reflects the symbolic unification of the west, east, south and north under a single coat of arms, emphasizing the country's technological unity.
The reverse of the coin is decorated with a schematic map of Ukraine created from the digits of a binary code in which the name UKRAINE is encrypted. The name is read vertically on the left, and its decoding is possible through a sequence of digits. At the bottom right is the inscription "DIGITAL STATE", which is represented by a stylized computer mouse cursor. The composition emphasizes the importance of technology in the modern world.
The coin was designed by artist Andriy Sagach.
