A decorative edelweiss flower appears in the left field, while an abstract silhouette of a warrior figure rendered in contrasting mirror and matte finishes occupies the background. The coat of arms of Abkhazia is depicted in a shield at the lower right. The issuer's name 'АҦСНЫ АБАНК' (Bank of Abkhazia) appears vertically along the right margin in Abkhazian script, with the date '2020', mint mark 'ММД', and fineness 'Ag 925' inscribed along the lower edge.

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color applied image of two figures in traditional Ubykh (Caucasian) costume, rendered in the style of a 19th-century ethnographic illustration. The male figure, depicted as a prince or noble, stands to the right wearing a white turban and a gold kaftan, carrying a sword and rifle; the female figure to his left is attired in a dark blue Circassian dress adorned with cartridge pockets (gazyr). The scene is framed by an ornamental arch with stylized floral corner ornaments and two snowflake rosettes in the upper corners. Above the arch, a pair of rearing horses flank the Abkhazian Cyrillic legend 'ТӘАХЫ УБЫХ' (Ubykh Prince), and a beaded border frames the entire rectangular field. |
