Key information

About the Belarus 2 Kopek Coin

The 2 kopek coin forms part of Belarus’s modern coin series introduced in 2009. It follows a consistent design language across denominations, combining strong numeric presentation with traditional decorative elements.

Obverse

The obverse is centred around a large, curved “2” that dominates the coin’s surface. The numeral is bold and smooth, with rounded edges that contrast against the flatter background.

Along the inner edge of the numeral, the word “копейки” is engraved, following the curve of the figure and integrating the text into the shape itself. To the lower right, a decorative geometric motif appears, composed of repeating angular elements arranged symmetrically. The pattern has a stepped, almost pixel-like appearance, giving it a stylised interpretation of traditional Belarusian ornamentation.

The composition is slightly diagonal in feel, with the numeral angled across the coin and balanced by the decorative element.

Reverse

The reverse features the national emblem of Belarus placed centrally. The design includes a stylised map surrounded by a wreath formed from wheat sheaves and additional botanical elements.

At the top, a small star sits above the emblem, while a ribbon element at the base carries the national inscription. Beneath the emblem, the word “БЕЛАРУСЬ” is engraved in bold lettering, followed by the year “2009”.

The engraving is detailed and layered, with fine lines defining the structure of the wreath, ribbon, and central emblem, creating a cohesive circular composition.
