Obverse description A Crimean Tatar craftswoman is depicted in left profile, bent attentively over an embroidery frame (kergef), her hands engaged in needlework upon a stretched canvas. Traditional Ornek foliate and geometric motifs radiate symmetrically outward from the central figure, filling the field and evoking the living continuity of the embroidery tradition. The legend УКРАЇНА appears at the upper left, with the bilingual inscription ORNEK / ОРЬНЕК across the upper field, while the denomination 5₴ and date 2024 are placed in the lower portion of the design.

Reverse description The reverse field is entirely occupied by a densely composed, symmetrical Ornek ornament rendered in high relief, imitating the texture of embroidered needlework. The design is structured around a central vertical axis from which stylised tulip and carnation blossoms, scrolling vines, palmette forms, and acanthus-like foliate elements radiate in bilateral symmetry. Each motif is rendered with fine hatched and cross-hatched surface detail, faithfully reproducing the appearance of traditional Crimean Tatar embroidery stitches. The composition fills the entire coin field to the raised rim, with no legends or inscriptions present on this face.
