Key information

About the Belarus 2 Ruble Coin

The 2 ruble coin represents one of the larger denominations in Belarus’s coin series, combining a bi metal structure with a layered visual design. The use of contrasting metals allows for more complex compositions and clearer separation between elements.

Obverse

The obverse is built around a large “2” that spans across both the inner core and outer ring. The numeral is angled slightly, creating a dynamic layout rather than a strictly vertical alignment. The word “рублі” is engraved across the numeral, following its curve and integrating the text into the central figure.

The coin’s bi metal construction is clearly visible, with a silver toned inner core and a gold coloured outer ring. Decorative motifs appear on either side of the numeral, composed of stylised geometric patterns that echo traditional Belarusian ornamentation. These motifs are symmetrical and positioned to balance the large central figure.

The surface transitions between smooth fields and lightly textured areas, giving the coin a layered appearance.

Reverse

The reverse features the national emblem of Belarus placed centrally within the inner core. The emblem includes a stylised map surrounded by a wreath made up of wheat sheaves, with additional floral and ribbon elements integrated into the design.

At the top, a small star sits above the emblem, while the inscription “БЕЛАРУСЬ” curves along the upper edge of the outer ring. Below the emblem, the year “2009” is engraved in a clean, evenly spaced font.

The outer ring also carries repeating decorative elements positioned at intervals, adding texture and visual interest without overwhelming the central emblem. The combination of fine engraving and symmetrical layout gives the coin a structured and balanced composition.
