| Obverse description | The oval field depicts the scene of the Annunciation in relief: the Archangel Gabriel, shown with large wings and holding a lily stem, faces the Virgin Mary, who stands with hands crossed over her chest and a halo around her head; rays of divine light descend from above between the two figures. A Cyrillic legend in the surrounding border names the Supral Annunciation Monastery, separated by asterisks at the base. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts in relief a view of the Supral Annunciation Monastery complex with its distinctive multi-domed church and bell towers occupying the upper field. Below the monastery view, two bust portraits face each other — identified in flanking legends as Bishop Iosif and Alek. Khodkevich — with the dates 1500 and 1900 between them commemorating the monastery's 400th anniversary. A Cyrillic dedicatory legend encircles the entire composition in the outer border. |
