| Obverse description | At center, a stylized outline of a crested lark rendered in an elegant Art Nouveau-inspired linear design, enclosed within a circular ornamental frame. The national coat of arms of the Republic of Belarus appears at the top of the coin, flanked by the Cyrillic legend 'РЭСПУБЛІКА БЕЛАРУСЬ' arranged around the upper periphery. The denomination '10 РУБЛЁЎ' is inscribed in the lower field, with the fineness designation 'Ag 925' and the date '2017' positioned to the right of the central motif. The overall design combines decorative line art with a mirrored bird silhouette against a reflective proof field. |

| Additional information |
Belarus has issued silver wildlife coins continuously since the late 1990s, and the Crested Lark entry sits within a long-running series documenting species native to the region. The bird itself is a year-round resident across much of Eastern Europe, though its Belarusian populations have faced steady pressure from agricultural intensification since the Soviet era — the same grain fields it historically exploited have become increasingly hostile habitat.
KM#592 was struck at the Mint of Poland in Warsaw, which has handled the bulk of Belarusian commemorative production for decades, as Belarus operates no facility capable of proof coinage at scale.
