| Reverse description | The reverse features two stylised arches at centre, symbolising the openness of diplomatic relations and cooperation between Belarus and China. Beneath the left arch, a landscape representative of Belarus is depicted alongside a Chinese-script inscription reading 'Belarus'; beneath the right arch, a rendering of the Great Wall of China appears with a Chinese-script inscription reading 'China'. The names of both nations appear as a legend at the top of the field, and a two-line circumferential inscription at the bottom commemorates fifteen years of diplomatic relations between the two countries. |

| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate diplomatic and economic ties between Belarus and China, this coin appeared during a period when Minsk was actively cultivating relationships with non-Western powers following years of political isolation from the EU and United States. Lukashenko's government had been pursuing bilateral agreements with Beijing since the mid-1990s, and by 2007 Chinese investment in Belarusian industrial infrastructure was substantial enough to warrant official commemorative recognition.
