| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed decorative composition assembled from traditional ornamental motifs characteristic of Opishnya folk pottery, incorporating stylised floral, geometric, and vegetal elements drawn from the decorative vocabulary of Ukrainian ceramic plates. The design radiates symmetrically from the centre, with intricate relief work evoking the painted and glazed surface patterns found on celebrated Opishnya wares. The legend 'ОПІШНЯНСЬКА КЕРАМІКА' is inscribed across the field, identifying the subject of the commemorative issue. The overall composition reflects the artistic heritage of Opishnya, long regarded as one of the foremost centres of Ukrainian folk ceramics. |
