| Obverse description | Central to the design is a stylized rendering of the Cyrillic word СЛОВО ('word'), the name of the renowned Kharkiv House of Writers of the 1930s, with the texture of each letter evoking sprouting winter wheat symbolizing the young generation of artists whose lives were cut short under totalitarian repression. The letter 'О' is depicted as shot through and bleeding, serving as a powerful allegorical wound commemorating the tragedy of the Executed Renaissance. The denomination '5₴' and the issuer inscription 'УКРАЇНА' appear in the field, with the year '2026' completing the legend. The overall composition combines coloured relief and matte textures to heighten the commemorative and symbolic impact. |

| Reverse description | A finely modelled front-facing portrait bust of the Ukrainian poet and writer Maik Yohansen dominates the right half of the field, rendered in high relief with detailed facial features and an open collar with bow tie. To the left, a jagged silhouette — evoking a torn page or a bullet-scarred surface — divides the design, with the Cyrillic inscription 'МАЙК ЙОГАНСЕН' inscribed vertically along this boundary. The birth and death years '1895' and '1937' are positioned in the lower portion of the field against a polished mirror background, underscoring the brevity of the artist's life under Stalinist persecution. |
