Obverse description Central field features an ornate decorative cartouche incorporating a stylized sun with a human face in high relief, accompanied by a crescent moon, set against an intricate scrollwork and floral arabesque background. The state emblem of the Republic of Belarus — a crowned shield displaying a map of the country over rays of sunlight, flanked by floral wreaths and a ribbon — appears at the top of the field. The circular legend reads 'РЭСПУБЛIКА БЕЛАРУСЬ' along the upper periphery, with the denomination '1 РУБЕЛЬ' and the date '2014' inscribed along the lower periphery. The overall design is executed in an antique finish with finely detailed relief work throughout the field.

Reverse description Two fish rendered in bold, naturalistic high relief are depicted swimming in opposite directions, entwined in the traditional Pisces zodiac arrangement, their scales and fins finely detailed. Elaborate scrolling waves and decorative foliate tendrils fill the lower and lateral fields, lending the composition a rich ornamental quality. A horizontal ribbon banner bearing the Latin inscription 'PISCES' is positioned centrally between the two fish. A series of spherical orbs in graduated sizes is arranged along the right border, adding further decorative interest to the design. The reverse is struck in antique finish, enhancing the depth and contrast of the intricate relief elements.
