In the circle made of a string of beads, there is a composition popular in 18th-20th century folk art of Ukraine: Cossack Mamay dressed in a rich coat edged with fur, sits in a Turkish way, smokes a pipe and plays the bandura. Around him there are traditional attributes of the Cossack military life of that period: a horse with a good outfit, tied to a spear with a small flag on its top, plunged into soil; a green oak-tree with a hanging sabre; a pistol and a stone powder case; high Turkish hat and a bottle of 'okovyta' (Ukrainian vodka). Around the coin external circumference there are inscriptions: КОЗАК МАМАЙ (Cossack Mamay) - on the left and ЛИЦАР ВОЛІ І ЧЕСТІ (paladin of freedom and honour) - on the right. Above these inscriptions are separated with a small flag at the spear top, underneath - with a conventionalized highbush cranberry spray.
