| Obverse description | Central to the obverse is a stylized bare tree with spreading branches, rendered in high relief against a textured field depicting reeds and rural landscape elements on either side. Above the tree, a flock of storks in flight extends toward the upper rim, a motif emblematic of Belarusian national identity. The state emblem of the Republic of Belarus appears at the top of the field. The circular legend РЭСПУБЛІКА БЕЛАРУСЬ arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1 РУБЕЛЬ is inscribed at the bottom and the date 2012 appears in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Belarus's ongoing commemorative circulation series, this rouble marks the Maxim Gorky tank — a Soviet-era monument and popular symbol of World War II memory in the republic. Belarus lost roughly a third of its population during the German occupation, and the war's material legacy, including preserved armor, remains central to official commemorative culture in Minsk.
KM#431 was struck at the Latvian Mint in Rīga, which has produced the bulk of Belarusian commemorative coinage since the National Bank lacked domestic striking capacity.
