A facsimile of Khrutsky's signature appears in cursive script beneath the portrait, accompanied by a small multicolor painter's palette emblem. The inscription I.

| Additional information |
Ivan Khrutsky (1810–1885) was a Belarusian-Polish painter trained in St. Petersburg whose still-life and portrait work earned him membership in the Imperial Academy of Arts. He spent much of his career at his estate in Zakharchevichy, near Polotsk, where he produced the domestic interiors and flower-and-fruit compositions that now define his reputation. Belarus has claimed him firmly as a national figure, though his career unfolded almost entirely within Russian imperial institutions.
The rectangular flan — 50 × 28 mm — places this among a series of shaped silver issues the National Bank produced in the late 2000s and early 2010s honoring Belarusian cultural figures.
