| Reverse description | The central field features a relief depiction of a ballerina posed in a half-split position, evoking imagery from Pyotr Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake. Below the central figure, a two-line inscription reads БЕЛАРУСКI БАЛЕТ (Belarusian Ballet). An ornamental pattern of stylized feathers runs along the right portion of the rim, framing the composition and reinforcing the ballet theme. |

| Additional information |
Belarus has issued commemorative circulation coins under the National Bank's ongoing cultural series since the early 2000s, with ballet among the recurring subjects — a nod to the Bolshoi Ballet of Belarus in Minsk, which maintained its Soviet-era prestige long after independence. These copper-nickel roubles were intended for circulation but rarely saw it, absorbed almost immediately by collectors and souvenir buyers.
