| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Republic of Belarus occupies the central field, depicting a sun rising over a globe flanked by wheat ears and clover on the left and flax on the right, tied with a ribbon in the colors of the national flag, and surmounted by a five-pointed star. The arms are rendered in fine detail against a polished field. The Cyrillic legend РЭСПУБЛIКА БЕЛАРУСЬ arcs around the upper periphery, while the denomination АДЗIН РУБЕЛЬ is inscribed along the lower arc. The date 2004 appears in the lower central field beneath the coat of arms. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Belarus's ongoing Prypiatsky nature reserve series, this coin commemorates the Pripyat National Park established in 1969 along the floodplain of the Pripyat River — one of the last intact floodplain ecosystems in Europe. The park sits roughly 180 kilometers from Chernobyl, and the 1986 disaster's exclusion zone effectively buffered the region from post-Soviet agricultural encroachment, making the ecological argument for the park's coinage series quietly ironic.
