Obverse description The obverse features a dynamic allegorical composition in high relief depicting a winged Cossack warrior's helmet adorned with feathers and a banner, symbolising martial glory and Ukrainian martial spirit. In the lower left field, a mounted Cossack figure with a sword and a bandura (traditional Ukrainian lute) is rendered in fine detail, evoking the cultural and military heritage of the Hetmanate. The Ukrainian state trident emblem (tryzub) appears at the top centre within a shield cartouche. The Cyrillic legend НАЦІОНАЛЬНИЙ БАНК УКРАЇНИ arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 10 ГРИВЕНЬ and the date 2009 are inscribed in the lower field.

Reverse description The reverse presents a dynamic battle scene commemorating the 350th anniversary of the Ukrainian Cossack victory at the Battle of Konotop (1659). At centre, a Cossack commander on a rearing horse brandishes a sabre, rendered in high sculptural relief against a mirror-polished field. To the left, a dense phalanx of pike-bearing infantry fills the background in lower relief, conveying the scale of the engagement. In the right middle field, a stylised silhouette of a fortified town alludes to Konotop itself. The Cyrillic inscription ПЕРЕМОГА В КОНОТОПСЬКІЙ БИТВІ arcs along the upper border, with the numeral 350 РОКІВ prominently displayed at the upper centre of the field.
