| Obverse description | The State Coat of Arms of the Republic of Belarus is depicted in high relief at the top of the field. At center, stylized silhouettes of cuckoos are interwoven with traditional Belarusian ornamental motifs against a background combining the symbol of perpetual motion — a spinning wheel — whose decorative pattern transitions organically into the concentric ring structure of a tree cross-section. The year of issue and alloy fineness appear beneath the central design. Circumferential legends in Cyrillic read РЭСПУБЛІКА БЕЛАРУСЬ (Republic of Belarus) at the top and 20 РУБЛЁЎ (20 Rubles) at the bottom. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized depiction of a cuckoo at center, its outstretched wings rendered in the form of long billowing sleeves of a feminine folk dress as if caught mid-dance, evoking the spirit of Belarusian legend. The interior of the cuckoo silhouette is filled with intricate national Belarusian ornamental patterns. Beneath the right wing, symbolic figures representing children's forms and egg-shaped ovals allude to the narrative elements of the legend. A circumferential inscription in Cyrillic along the left border reads ЛЕГЕНДА ПРА ЗЯЗЮЛЮ (The Legend of the Cuckoo). |
