| Reverse description | Central field features a finely detailed high-relief depiction of a greylag goose (Anser anser) shown in a three-quarter frontal view, with meticulously engraved plumage rendered scale by scale across the breast, flanks, and wing coverts. The bird is set against a recessed, mirror-polished oval field that contrasts with the raised design. The Belarusian legend ПТУШКА ГОДА arcs along the lower left periphery and ШЭРАЯ ГУСЬ along the upper right periphery, separated by a raised dot, identifying the subject as Bird of the Year and naming the species. |

| Additional information |
Part of Belarus's long-running wildlife conservation series, this rouble was issued under a program that paired circulating commemoratives with higher-denomination silver collector pieces depicting the same fauna. The greylag goose — ancestral stock of most domestic goose breeds — was once widely hunted across Belarusian wetlands and remains a protected species under national environmental legislation.
