| Reverse description | The reverse presents two stylized athlete figures depicted in mirror image at center: a canoeist above and a kayaker below, both rendered in dynamic, graphic relief. A circular legend frames the central design, reading 'ВЕСЛАВАННЕ НА БАЙДАРКАХ І КАНОЭ' at the top and 'АЛІМПІЙСКІЯ ГУЛЬНІ 2016' at the bottom, referencing the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The composition employs a clean, modern artistic style with bold lines evoking the movement and athleticism of sprint paddling disciplines. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Belarus's extensive Olympic commemorative program ahead of the 2016 Rio Games, this piece belongs to a series that ran across multiple sports and denominations. Belarusian athletes had notable success in canoe sprint historically — Raman Piatrushenka and others brought medals home from London in 2012 — giving the subject at least some national relevance beyond generic Olympic theming.
