| Obverse description | The Small National Emblem (trident) of Ukraine occupies the upper field, flanked by depictions of ancient Kyivan Rus coinage — the zlatnyk (gold coin) and sriblianyky (silver coins) — rendered in high relief. Below the emblem, a partial architectural reconstruction model of ancient Kyiv is depicted, evoking the historical setting of early medieval Ukrainian minting. The encircling legend and metallic specifications are inscribed in Cyrillic characters, with the issuing authority, fineness, weight, denomination, and date distributed around the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed relief scene depicting medieval coin minting in Kyiv, styled after illuminated manuscript illustration traditions of Kyivan Rus. Four craftsmen are shown engaged in the minting process: one operates bellows to stoke a furnace, another tends a crucible of molten metal, a third strikes a die with a hammer at the anvil, and a fourth works at the lower right. Ornate interlace border panels in the Old Rus decorative style flank the central scene on the left and right, bearing the letters 'XX'. The Cyrillic inscription in three lines across the lower field reads 'ТИСЯЧОЛІТТЯ МОНЕТНОГО КАРБУВАННЯ У КИЄВІ' (A Millennium of Coin Minting in Kyiv). |
