| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed relief portrait of the Azure Tit (Cyanistes cyanus) depicted in a naturalistic posture at center, set against an oval motif symbolizing an egg. Flanking the oval, two inscriptions curve around the design: БЕЛАЯ СІНІЦА on the left and ПТУШКА ГОДА on the right, identifying the subject as the Bird of the Year. The composition is balanced and centered within the round field, with the inscriptions serving as the sole border ornamentation. |

| Additional information |
Belarus has issued an extensive series of copper-nickel nature roubles over the past two decades, and this piece belongs to that ongoing wildlife program rather than any single commemorative event. The Azure Tit — Cyanistes cyanus — is distributed across temperate Eurasia but is notably sparse in Belarus compared to the more common Blue Tit, giving the subject a degree of regional relevance the catalog number alone won't convey.
KM#737 places this among a crowded field of Belarusian issues from the same period, many struck at the Lithuanian Mint in Vilnius following the contraction of domestic minting capacity.
