The coin captures the historical step of Ukraine's European path and preserves it in metal as a sign of hope. The plot and design details emphasize the theme: dedicated to an important event in European history of the first half of the 17th century, which actually decided the fate of Christian civilization, - the 400th anniversary of the Khotyn epic.
Obverse
On the obverse, the composition is readable at first glance: the official attributes of the state and the details of the plot work as a single whole. In the upper part, behind the river, on the right side of the fortress, - a stylized camp of opponents. The obverse of the coin is noticeable: in the upper part on the mirror surface - a small State Emblem of Ukraine, on the right side of which is the inscription UKRAINE inscriptions: denomination - 5/HRYVEN (against the fortress background), year of minting the coin 2021 (below on a matte field). In the center is a composition symbolizing the siege of the Khotyn camp: a fortress (on the left side), the defenders' troops (on the right side of the fortress), around which are clouds of smoke and the sign of the Banknote and Mint of the National Bank of Ukraine (under the year of minting). European symbolism is delicately integrated, and the plot conveys a sense of historical step and hope. The state emblem in the composition sets the official tone and balances the decorative elements. The corporate emblem of the Banknote and Mint of the NBU emphasizes the official origin of the issue.
Reverse
The reverse is the central story of the coin: the symbols are arranged so that the plot "comes to life" under different angles of light. On the left side, the inscriptions are clearly visible on the mirror surface: KHOTYN/ BATTLE/ 1621/ YEAR. The reverse of the coin shows Hetman Petro Sahaidachny in the foreground, and the figures of warriors on the second. European symbolism is delicately integrated, and the plot conveys a sense of historical step and hope. The texture of the field shows noticeable relief transitions: from thin strokes to deeper areas that beautifully catch the light when the coin is turned.
