Overse
The obverse presents the theme through a combination of state symbols, inscriptions and finely thought-out relief. The obverse of the coin shows: in the upper part – the small State Emblem of Ukraine, on the right side of which the inscription in an arc UKRAINE on the mirror surface in a circle depicts 12 symbols of the Eastern calendar, in the center of the circle – a stylized clock with an arrow pointing to a rabbit – a symbol of the year, under the arrow – 2023 on a matte field stylized symbols of each season of the year are depicted: a snowflake (in the upper part), a flower (on the right side), a berry (below), a leaf (on the left side) at the bottom on the left side the inscription in an arc 5 HRYVENÍ sign of the Banknote and Mint of the National Bank of Ukraine (on the left side of the rabbit symbol). The relief feels the movement of time and the cyclical nature of the year, and the contrast of the matte and mirror adds a “festive spark”. The state emblem in the composition sets the official tone and balances the decorative elements. The brand name of the NBU Banknote and Mint 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. The reverse of the coin shows a stylized symbol of the Eastern calendar for 2023 - a rabbit, which is surrounded in a circle by stylized symbols inherent in each season: snowflakes (in the upper right part), flowers (lower right part), fruits (lower left part), branches (in the upper left part). The relief conveys the movement of time and the cyclical nature of the year, and the contrast of matte and mirror adds a "festive spark." The texture of the field shows noticeable relief transitions: from thin strokes to deeper areas that catch the light beautifully when the coin is turned.
