The outer border of the reverse is embellished with multicolored synthetic crystals set into the irregular shaped field, creating a polychrome decorative effect. The overall composition reflects traditional Chinese decorative artistry rendered in a contemporary collector coin format. |

| Additional information |
Belarus has issued large-format silver pieces in this series before, but the 1500-gram weight puts this among the heaviest circulation-adjacent commemoratives produced by any post-Soviet central bank. The National Bank of Belarus has used oversized silver formats since the early 2000s to target the collector export market, a revenue strategy that became increasingly important as Western sanctions tightened following the 2020 disputed election and subsequent political isolation.
