Description: Jubilee coin 'The Tithe Church'. The coin is dedicated to 1000th anniversary of the Tithe Church foundation in Kiyv, the first stone temple in Kiyvan Rus.

Around the coin circumference there is an inscription УКРАЇНА (UKRAINE) – underneath there are the year of issue and in two lines – 20 ГРИВЕНЬ (20 HRYVNIAS). Left and right from figure '20' there are designations of Аg 925 and coin's pure weight. The whole composition is framed with the beads circumference decoration.

Underneath on the mirror background there is a ribbon with an inscription: ДУХОВНІ СКАРБИ УКРАЇНИ.
