| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the planet Uranus rendered in vivid pad-printed color in shades of pale blue-green, dominating the upper portion of the design and conveying the planet's distinctive hazy atmospheric appearance. Behind and beneath the planet, a detailed latitudinal and longitudinal grid sphere is engraved in relief, evoking a celestial globe and referencing the planet's unique axial tilt. The astrological symbol for Uranus appears in the lower left field. The inscription 'URANUS' is positioned to the upper right of the planet in the field. |

Part of Belarus's ongoing planetary series, this issue was produced using pad printing — a process borrowed from industrial manufacturing that deposits polymer-based inks directly onto the coin surface to achieve color effects impossible through conventional die work. The National Bank of Belarus was among the earlier post-Soviet issuers to adopt the technique for collector coinage, though the method raises legitimate long-term durability questions that remain unresolved in numismatic conservation literature.
