Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of a Herring Gull on the reverse side, which is not a common motif on coins. The coin's design was created by sculptor A. A. Kuznetsov and features a detailed representation of the bird in flight, with its wings spread wide. The coin's obverse side features the National Emblem of Belarus and the inscription "Беларусь" (Belarus) in bold letters. This coin is a great example of how numismatics can be used to showcase a country's natural beauty and wildlife.
