The façade is softly tinted, standing against a dark, mirror-like sky. In the foreground, a paved square stretches toward the viewer, accompanied by a decorative street lamp and a leafy tree, while light clouds drift above. Along the upper rim appears the inscription “ПРАВОСЛАВНЫЕ СВЯТЫНИ КИЕВА,” and below the image is the title “КИРИЛЛОВСКАЯ ЦЕРКОВЬ” with the date “2009.” A beaded border frames the composition. The obverse features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and “5 DOLLARS,” struck in deep cameo contrast.
