| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized ice hockey player in dynamic skating posture, shown in mid-stride with a hockey stick extended toward the lower field, rendered in a bold linear outline style against a background of sweeping curved lines suggesting speed and movement. To the right, a decorative band of leaf or skate-blade motifs mirrors the obverse design. The multi-line Cyrillic legend is inscribed diagonally across the lower portion of the field, referencing the XIXth Winter Olympic Games and the host city Salt Lake City, with the year 2002 below. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark Ukraine's hosting of the 2001 Ice Hockey World Championship Division C tournament, this coin was part of a broader push by the National Bank of Ukraine in the early 2000s to use commemorative circulation strikes as a vehicle for national cultural projection — a pattern borrowed heavily from Soviet-era jubilee coinage traditions. The bimetallic commemorative program of this period produced numerous 2-hryvnia pieces in nickel brass, many of which saw almost no actual circulation.
The Zahreba catalog designation places it firmly within the standard commemorative circulation series rather than the proof collector issues struck in silver for the same event.
