Obverse description The upper field bears the legend УКРАЇНА (Ukraine) in Cyrillic. At center is a gold-plated (local gilding) stylized page from the Suprasl Irmologion (1598–1601), recognized as the oldest extant Ukrainian manuscript written in sheet music notation and a foundational source of Kyiv Church liturgical heritage, housed in the Volodymyr Vernadskyi National Library of Ukraine. To the left of the central vignette is Ukraine's small state coat of arms (trident), beneath which appears the issue year 2020. To the right of the vignette, the denomination 20 / ГРИВЕНЬ is inscribed in the field.

Above the central image, three lines of stylized Cyrillic legend read ЗБІРНИК / ЦЕРКОВНИХ ПІСНЕСПІВІВ / ІРМОЛОГІОН (Collection / of Church Chants / Irmologion).
