| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized dragon rendered in a folk-art decorative style inspired by traditional Ukrainian ornamental motifs, occupying the central field. The dragon is shown in profile facing right, with an open mouth, scaled body, and elaborate foliate scrollwork surrounding it, all executed in high relief against a matte background. An inlaid amber-colored gemstone forms the eye of the dragon, serving as the coin's distinguishing insert element. Friezes of small animals in procession — including bears, horses, and other creatures — run along the upper and lower registers, separated from the central composition by wave-like bands. The entire design is framed by a continuous border of decorative folk-art imagery including floral and zoomorphic motifs. |
