| Reverse description | At center, a relief depiction of a memorial stone in the form of a cross bears a map indicating the battlefields of the 1812 war on the territory of Belarus. A banner draped across the upper portion of the map occupies the foreground ledge of the monument, while at its base a cannon barrel, cannonballs, a saber, and a broadsword are arranged as symbolic military attributes. A circumferential legend at the top reads ВАЙНА 1812 ГОДА (The War of 1812), and a heraldic ribbon at the bottom carries the inscription 200 ГАДОЎ (The 200th Anniversary). |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the bicentennial of Napoleon's catastrophic Russian campaign, this Belarusian commemorative enters crowded territory — Russia, France, and several other nations produced their own 2012 issues for the same anniversary. Belarus has particular claim to the subject: the Battle of Borodino was fought just east of the modern border, and the French Grande Armée's crossing of the Berezina River near Borisov — where tens of thousands drowned or froze during the November 1812 retreat — occurred on present-day Belarusian soil.
KM#433 is part of a broader Belarusian commemorative rouble program that accelerated sharply after 2000, producing hundreds of distinct types within a decade.
