| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic battle scene depicting Kyrylo the Tanner in mortal combat with a fearsome dragon, rendered in a bold decorative style drawing on traditional Ukrainian folk art. The composition conveys the triumph of human strength, willpower, and justice over evil, with the heroic figure of Kyrylo dominating the field against the coiling form of the vanquished serpent. The design is executed in colour, enhancing the dramatic narrative quality of the scene. |

| Additional information |
Kyrylo Kozhumiaka is one of the oldest Slavic dragon-slayer legends, predating Christianized versions by centuries — the hero defeats a serpent holding the Kyivan prince's daughter captive through sheer physical strength, not divine intervention. The tale is rooted in early Rus oral tradition and was documented extensively by folklorist Mykhailo Drahomanov in the 19th century. Ukraine's ongoing folk tales coin series has issued pieces tied explicitly to national cultural preservation efforts accelerated after 2022.
