| Obverse description | At the upper portion of the obverse, the Small Coat of Arms of Ukraine is displayed prominently within the central field, flanked by the semicircular legend НАЦІОНАЛЬНИЙ БАНК УКРАЇНИ (National Bank of Ukraine). Below, two figures — a dancing couple — are rendered in stylized form, swept up in the flowing, swirling motion of a traditional dance. The denomination П'ЯТЬ ГРИВЕНЬ (Five Hryvnias) is inscribed beneath the central motif, with the issue year 2011 positioned to the right. The mintmark of the National Bank of Ukraine Banknote Printing and Minting Works appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Ukraine's long-running commemorative program celebrating traditional folk culture, this coin honors the hopak — a Ukrainian dance with roots in the Zaporozhian Cossack military tradition, where the acrobatic jumping movements were originally derived from combat techniques. The National Bank of Ukraine has struck dozens of bimetallic and base-metal commemoratives in this vein since independence, and the series is widely collected domestically.
The Zahreba catalog reference places this firmly within the Ukrainian numismatic literature compiled by Vasyl Zahreba, whose cataloging work remains the primary domestic reference for post-Soviet Ukrainian issues.
