| Reverse description | A stylized full-length figure of Barbara Radziwill is depicted at center, rendered in a romanticized artistic style with flowing robes and long hair, her hands clasped before her holding a glowing orb. A crown motif appears above her head in the upper field. The figure is framed by an elaborate ornamental arch with foliate and scrollwork decoration on both sides, with stylized floral elements in the lower field. The legend 'БАРБАРА РАДЗІВІЛ' (Barbara Radziwill) is inscribed within the design, and the overall composition features strong contrast between the darkened oxidized background and the bright relief elements. |

| Additional information |
Nesvizh Castle, the subject of this issue, was the principal residence of the Radziwiłł family — one of the most powerful noble dynasties in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania — and remained in their possession for over four centuries until Soviet confiscation in 1939. The Belarusian National Bank has issued collector roubles tied to UNESCO World Heritage sites with some regularity, and the partial oxidation treatment here is applied deliberately to articulate architectural surface detail rather than as a patina effect.
The castle's restoration, ongoing since the 1990s, was still incomplete when UNESCO added the site to its World Heritage List in 2005.
