| Reverse description | The reverse features a portrait of the celebrated Belarusian poet Maxim Bagdanovich in left-facing profile relief, occupying the left portion of the field. To the right, a two-line circumferential inscription reads М. БАГДАНОВІЧ (M. Bagdanovich) above the years of his life 1891—1917, commemorating the poet's brief but influential literary career. An ornamental motif of cornflowers, a symbol closely associated with Bagdanovich's poetry and Belarusian national identity, adorns the remaining field, completing the harmonious commemorative composition. |

| Additional information |
Maxim Bahdanovіch died of tuberculosis in Yalta in 1917 at age 25, leaving behind a single poetry collection — Vyanok (Wreath), published in 1913 — that became foundational to modern Belarusian literary identity. The National Bank of Belarus has issued numerous collector roubles commemorating cultural figures, and Bahdanovіch appears repeatedly in the series given his outsized symbolic weight relative to his slim output.
KM#287 is a circulation-quality commemorative, not a proof issue.
