| Reverse description | The copper-nickel centre presents a detailed frontal view of the Bernardine Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Budslau, a prominent Baroque Roman Catholic sanctuary, rendered in fine engraving with twin bell towers, a central dome crowned with a cross, and an elaborate façade. The brass ring carries the Belarusian inscription КАСЦЁЛ БЕРНАРДЗІНЦАЎ · БУДСЛАЎ arched along the upper field, while the date 2020 appears in the lower field. Decorative elements consistent with the series design occupy the ring between the lettering and the central motif. |

| Additional information |
Budslau's Church of the Assumption has been a Catholic pilgrimage site since at least the 17th century, centered on a venerated icon of the Virgin Mary brought to the region by Jesuits around 1598. The annual Budslau Feast, held each July, draws tens of thousands of pilgrims and was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2018 — one of the few Catholic devotional traditions from the former Soviet space to receive that recognition.
Belarus has issued extensively in this bimetallic format to document religious and architectural heritage, this piece falling within a long-running commemorative circulation series rather than a precious-metal collector issue.
