| Obverse description | The obverse features a large stylized Cyrillic word СЛОВО (meaning 'Word') rendered in a fractured, stone-like relief occupying the upper half of the field, evoking themes of suppressed literature and cultural destruction. A single drop of red enamel color descends from the letterforms, symbolizing bloodshed and martyrdom. Below, the legend УКРАЇНА arcs across the lower field, flanked by the date 2025 to the left and the denomination 5₴ to the right, with the small Ukrainian trident national emblem centered between them. The mint mark of the Banknote Printing and Minting Works appears at the base of the field. The overall composition is stark and symbolic, executed in Special Uncirculated finish against a mirror-like field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely modeled bust portrait of Mykola Khvylovy (born Mykola Fitiliov) in three-quarter left-facing view, rendered in high sculptural relief emerging from a background of fragmented, shattered stone slabs that evoke both creative destruction and violent suppression. The surrounding rocky elements frame the portrait dramatically, reinforcing the theme of the 'Executed Renaissance.' To the lower left, a worn stone fragment bears the birth and death years 1893 and 1933 in relief numerals. The inscriptions МИКОЛА ФІТІЛЬОВ and МИКОЛА ХВИЛЬОВИЙ appear in two vertical columns flanking the portrait to the right, identifying the subject by both his birth name and literary pseudonym. |
