Against a smooth background, to the right, is the legend ЖИТТЯ (life), which is stylized as a blood transfusion system with a needle. This element symbolizes the process of supplying blood to the vessels shown at the bottom left. Vessels that are already filled with blood are marked in red, and those that still need blood are marked in blue. The stylized drop and the legend життя (life) harmoniously combine to form the name of the coin – “A Drop of Life.” The texture of the matte background on which all these elements are placed symbolizes the great need for blood donations in times of war.
