Obverse description The obverse features the State Emblem of the Republic of Belarus at the top center, flanked by decorative foliate scrollwork at the lower left and right of the field. A central rectangular vignette reproduces a woodcut-style illustration depicting a harvest scene with multiple figures engaged in agricultural labor, rendered in an archaic engraving style reminiscent of early printed book illustrations. The year '2016' appears in the left field and the fineness mark '925' in the right field, flanking the central vignette. The legend 'РЭСПУБЛІКА БЕЛАРУСЬ' arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination '20 РУБЛЁЎ' is inscribed along the lower rim.

Reverse description The reverse presents an intricate high-relief architectural composition depicting a cityscape of Padua, with stone arched gateways framing the scene on either side and a detailed panorama of the city's historic buildings receding into the background. At center, a prominently rendered armillary sphere rests on a plinth, flanked below by two heraldic shield devices. The inscription 'ШЛЯХ СКАРЫНЫ' arcs boldly along the upper rim in raised Cyrillic lettering, with 'PADUA' inscribed in Latin script just below it within the upper field. The toponym 'ПАДУЯ' appears along the lower rim in Cyrillic, completing the bilingual identification of the city. The overall design evokes the Renaissance scholarly world associated with Francisk Skorina's studies in Padua.
