The inscription DAR POMORZA is engraved beneath the central composition in Latin characters, identifying the celebrated Polish training ship, recognized as one of the longest sailing vessels in the world. |

| Additional information |
The "Dar Pomorza" — Polish for "Gift of Pomerania" — was a full-rigged training ship donated to Poland in 1929 by the citizens of Pomerania following the region's return to Polish control after WWI. She served the Polish merchant marine academy for decades and survived the German invasion of 1939 only because she was interned in Swedish waters. Belarus issuing a coin honoring a Polish sailing vessel reflects the broader post-Soviet commemorative trend of Baltic and Eastern European states producing collector roubles themed around regional maritime heritage regardless of direct national connection.
