| Obverse description | Against a deeply recessed black field, the obverse features an elaborate steampunk-inspired clockwork composition at center, comprising interlocking gears and cogs of varying sizes, some with gold plating, alongside a stylised sun motif and ornate clock hands, with a single pink cubic zirconia gemstone set among the mechanism. The circular legend РЭСПУБЛІКА БЕЛАРУСЬ arcs along the upper periphery in bold Cyrillic characters, while the denomination 20 РУБЛЁЎ is inscribed along the lower rim. A ring of twelve years, spanning 2013 through 2024, runs around the inner circumference of the coin, referencing the full twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle, with the fineness mark Ag 925 appearing in the lower left field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, stylised frontal portrait of a pig rendered in intricate ornamental relief against a dark recessed field, its face decorated with elaborate folk-art patterning and floral motifs. Surrounding the central pig motif are twelve small circular medallions, each bearing a symbol associated with the Chinese zodiac signs, arranged evenly around the periphery. At the top, a gold-plated circular cartouche bears the Chinese character 猪 (pig) in relief. The Cyrillic inscription ГОД СВІННІ, meaning 'Year of the Pig', is arranged across the lower portion of the field in a banner-like layout. The overall design draws on both Eastern zodiac iconography and Belarusian folk decorative traditions. |
