Flanking the oval are two curved inscriptions in Cyrillic: ПТУШКА ГОДА (Bird of the Year) on the left and ЖАЎРУК-СМЯЦЮХ (Crested Lark) on the right. The composition is naturalistic in style, with the bird rendered in fine detail against the smooth oval ground. |

| Additional information |
Belarus has issued an extensive run of bimetallic and base-metal wildlife coins since the early 2000s, largely targeting the thematic collector market rather than circulation. This copper-nickel rouble belongs to a broader fauna series that has included dozens of bird types, each assigned the same denomination despite the rouble having undergone a redenomination in July 2016 — dropping four zeros — which reset the collector coin program under a new numbering framework.
