This commemorative medal is dedicated to a self-governing scientific organization whose main task is to provide scientific support for the development of agroindustrial sectors. The history of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine dates back to 1 November 1918, when the Agricultural Scientific Committee of Ukraine was created. By its institutional arrangements, human resources, and objectives, the committee had all the trappings of a full-fledged academic institution. Academician Volodymyr Vernadskyi made a direct contribution to the establishment of this institution.
Obverse: there is Ukraine’s small coat of arms; in the middle is an historic building erected in the early 20th century that houses the academy; above is the circular legend НАЦІОНАЛЬНА АКАДЕМІЯ АГРАРНИХ НАУК УКРАЇНИ (National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine); underneath is a book with two enameled green leaves, on either side of which are ears of wheat and the years 1918 and 2018.
Reverse: against the backdrop of ears of wheat is the logo of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine; below is the legend 100/РОКІВ (100 years) with ears of wheat on either side; to the right is the mint mark of the NBU Banknote Printing and Minting Works with an ear of wheat in the background.
