The Kobzar is depicted walking towards a grave, symbolizing the end of an era and the passing of traditional culture. The coin's design is meant to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Taras Shevchenko, a famous Ukrainian poet and artist who was known for his contributions to Ukrainian culture and literature.
