Above the pair, a large radiant gilded sun bears a Chinese character for 'ox' (牛) at its centre, flanked by additional decorative flower rosettes. The curved legend 'ГОД БЫКА' is inscribed along the lower rim in Cyrillic characters. |

| Additional information |
Belarus has issued annual zodiac silver coins since the early 2000s, targeting the collector market rather than circulation — none of these pieces have ever passed through commerce as currency. The cubic zirconia inset is a production detail sourced from the same decorative manufacturing pipeline used across dozens of similar Central and Eastern European collector issues of the period.
KM#688 is one of the quieter entries in the series, with no particular mintage anomaly or political circumstance attached to its production year.
