| Beschrijving keerzijde | A raised relief portrait composition depicts Rogvolod of Polotsk and Rogneda as central figures. To their right, a stylized shallop (small sailing vessel) is rendered in relief, evoking the historical and legendary narrative associated with these figures. A circular legend along the rim reads 'РАГВАЛОД ПОЛАЦКI 970–980 РАГНЕДА 985–989', recording Rogvolod's reign dates of 970–980 and Rogneda's period of 985–989 respectively. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rogvolod was a Varangian prince ruling Polotsk in the 980s when Vladimir of Novgorod sent envoys to request his daughter Rogneda's hand. She refused, reportedly insulting Vladimir's birth. Vladimir responded by attacking Polotsk, killing Rogvolod and his sons, and forcing Rogneda into marriage. The episode is recorded in the Primary Chronicle and sits at the intersection of Rus' consolidation and the destruction of one of its earliest independent principalities.
Belarus has consistently used its silver commemorative program to anchor national identity to Polotsk's medieval history — a city now in Belarus that predates Kyiv's political dominance in the region.
