| Obverse description | Central field features a raised relief depicting two children — a girl and a boy — seated together on a crescent moon and reading an open book, rendered in a charming illustrative style. Four five-pointed stars flank the central device in pairs at left and right. The national coat of arms of the Republic of Belarus appears at the top of the field. The circular legend reads 'РЭСПУБЛIКА БЕЛАРУСЬ' along the upper periphery, with the denomination 'ДВАЦЦАЦЬ РУБЛЁЎ' inscribed along the lower periphery. The date '2008' is positioned in the lower exergual area beneath the central motif. The coin's antique finish lends the entire surface a frosted, oxidized appearance. |
