| Obverse description | At center right, a bandura is depicted in high relief against a horizontal ornamental band that divides the field. Above the band, the small National Emblem of Ukraine (trident) appears prominently, flanked by the Cyrillic legend УКРАЇНА and the mint logotype of the National Bank of Ukraine. Below the ornamental band, a three-line inscription reads 2 ГРИВНІ and the date 2003 in the lower field. The overall design is rendered in a clean, decorative style characteristic of Ukrainian commemorative coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | A powerful three-quarter bust portrait of Ostap Veresay, the celebrated Ukrainian kobzar and bandura player, occupies the central field, depicted as an elderly bearded man with deeply lined features rendered in high sculptural relief. He is shown actively playing a bandura, with both hands visible on the instrument's strings, conveying a sense of performance. The Cyrillic legend ОСТАП ВЕРЕСАЙ arcs along the upper left rim, while the dates 1803–1890 appear in the left field beside the portrait. The composition is naturalistic and expressive, befitting a commemorative issue honoring a revered folk musician. |
