Obverse description The upper field bears the date 2023 and the legend УКРАЇНА above a stylized outline map of Ukraine, beneath which appears a two-line verse by poet Lina Kostenko in cursive script with her name in the field. The lower portion features a relief composition of Chernihiv's historical and religious architectural monuments spanning the field, with Ukraine's small coat of arms (trident) on a shield at center bottom, and a decorative lion figure draped with a flag to the right. The mint mark of the NBU Banknote Printing and Minting Works appears to the left among the architectural elements.

Reverse description The upper half of the reverse depicts a scene symbolizing wartime destruction and civilian resilience, showing damaged rooftops, rubble, and a silhouetted figure with a rifle against a mirror-polished field. The bold legend ЧЕРНІГІВ dominates the center, with МІСТО ГЕРОЇВ inscribed beneath it. The lower half presents a detailed relief view of Chernihiv's historic skyline, featuring a multi-domed cathedral and other ecclesiastical monuments, flanked on the left by two historical cannon pieces.
