| Obverse description |
Stylized legend СЛОВО (meaning “word” in Ukrainian), the name of the Kharkiv House of Writers of the 1930s. The texture of the letters shows a sprout of winter wheat, an image of the younger generation of artists whose lives and work were cynically destroyed by the totalitarian government. The tragedy of the historical era is emphasized by the shot through the letter “O”, which is bleeding, reminding us of a painful wound in the history of Ukraine and the unfulfilled dreams of talented artists. |
