| Reverse description | A relief portrait of the celebrated Belarusian poet Maxim Bagdanovich occupies the left portion of the field, rendered in a classical style. To the right, a circumferential inscription in two lines bears his name in Cyrillic, М. БАГДАНОВІЧ (M. Bagdanovich), together with his years of life 1891–1917. An ornamental motif of cornflowers, emblematic of Belarusian folk art and closely associated with the poet's imagery, decorates the remaining field. |

| Additional information |
Bagdanovich died in 1917 at twenty-six, having spent his final years in a tuberculosis sanatorium in Yalta — his most celebrated verse written while already terminally ill. Belarus issued this piece as part of a long-running commemorative silver program honoring figures central to Belarusian literary and cultural identity, a project that accelerated notably after independence in 1991 as the state worked to establish a distinct national canon separate from Soviet framing.
KM#349 places this within a densely populated series; collectors should note that several issues in the Belarusian commemorative program share obverse dies across different reverse subjects.
