The commemorative coin is dedicated to the

 traditional pottery art that was formed in the village

 of Opishnya in the Poltava region and dates back to

 the 17th century. Opishnya ceramics have become a

 landmark phenomenon of national culture – both in

 artistic and ethnographic dimensions. It combines

 deep artistic originality and sophisticated execution

 technique, which have been preserved and passed

 down from generation to generation for centuries. In

 2012, Opishnya ceramics were included in the

 National List of Elements of Intangible Cultural

 Heritage of Ukraine, which testifies to its

 significance as a component of cultural identity.

On the obverse of the coin, in the center of the

 composition, the zoomorphic sculpture “Lion” by

 Vasyl Omelyanenko is depicted (decorative element

 – color printing). On both sides of the sculpture are

 fragments of the characteristic adhesive decor of

 the zoomorphic sculpture. On the right – the small

 State Emblem of Ukraine, the year of minting 2025,

 the inscription UKRAINE, the denomination 5 and the

 graphic sign of the hryvnia, as well as the logo of

 the Banknote and Mint of the National Bank of

 Ukraine.

The reverse of the coin presents a stylized

 composition formed from elements of the traditional

 ornamental decor of Opishnya clay products, in

 particular plates – real pearls of Ukrainian folk art,

 which seem to go beyond the borders of one of

 them. In the upper part of the coin – the inscription

 OPISHNYAN'SKA KERAMIKA.
