The state emblem of the Republic of Belarus appears at the top centre above the oval design. The legend РЭСПУБЛІКА БЕЛАРУСЬ curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1 РУБЕЛЬ is inscribed along the lower rim. The date 2018 appears within the oval design to the lower right. |

| Additional information |
Belarus has issued collector-focused commemorative roubles in copper-nickel at a steady pace since the early 2000s, with wildlife subjects forming a substantial portion of the series. This particular piece belongs to a broader run of fauna-themed issues that were timed, in part, to align with international conservation awareness programs promoted through the CIS member states.
The European goldfinch remains a common breeding resident across Belarus, which makes the choice more aesthetic than urgent — this is not a species in crisis.
