| Obverse description | The obverse features a central vertical band bearing a stylised tryzub (Ukrainian state emblem) rendered in an interlaced Celtic-Viking knotwork style, set against a polished field. Flanking the central band on both sides are two wider panels filled with elaborate interlaced zoomorphic ornamental motifs in a Scandinavian-Rus decorative tradition. A smaller tryzub in shield form appears at the top centre, above the Cyrillic legend УКРАЇНА and the date 2022. The denomination 2₴ is inscribed at the base of the central panel. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised frontal effigy of Ellisif (Yelysaveta Yaroslavna), Queen of Norway and Denmark, depicted in a hieratic medieval manner with a crown, long braided hair, and hands clasped in prayer before her chest, with a tryzub motif visible at the centre of her robes. To the left of the central figure is a relief panel depicting a Viking warrior in combat, and to the right a seated royal figure holding a stringed instrument, both rendered in a Romanesque-Rus relief style. The upper field carries two horizontal bands of Cyrillic inscription identifying her title, while the lower field bears two further inscription bands with her Ruthenian names. The overall composition evokes medieval manuscript illumination and Scandinavian stone carving traditions. |
