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.
