The reverse of the coin depicts a metaphorical artistic and figurative composition: under a cherry tree there is a young man playing a pipe, next to an open book (the symbolic world of G. Skovoroda); on both sides of the young man there are inscriptions: on the left - 300 YEARS OLD, GREGORY (vertically), on the right – a FRYING pan (vertically); around – mirror symbolic figures, trying to grab the philosopher, and the inscription in a semicircle – THE WORLD CAUGHT ME, AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND :) (upstairs).

Smooth with in-depth inscription

The commemorative coin is dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the birth of the Ukrainian philosopher, poet, teacher, pupil of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy - Grigory Savich Skovoroda. Grigory Skovoroda belongs to the prominent figures in Ukrainian philosophy and literature. Having achieved vital, existentially significant problems of human existence in his thoughts, he is still relevant today – as a person, thinker, writer. The organic combination of personal and social motives is the most characteristic feature of Grigory Skovoroda's poetry. The collection of poems "The Garden of Divine Songs" is his kind of lyrical diary, which reflects life events, moral and philosophical reflections on the meaning of life, true happiness, goodness, honesty, etc. The collection contains 30 songs.
