1 uah 2003 1АД2 — thin edge type

Commonface value

The regular obverse with thin edge lettering — a large triangle inside the “Д”. Worth face value; the pricier 2АД2 has the same edge, so check the obverse.

The only 2003 variety worth more than face value — the one with the smaller obverse. Its edge lettering is in thin type, but the common 1АД2 has the same type, so the obverse size is what matters.
