Key information

About the Belarus 5 Kopek Coin

The 5 kopek coin is part of Belarus’s modern coinage system, introduced with a consistent design language across denominations. It combines a strong numeric focus with traditional decorative elements, creating a simple but distinctive appearance.

Obverse

The obverse is dominated by a large “5” that fills most of the coin’s surface. The numeral is broad and sharply defined, with straight edges and clean lines that stand out against the smooth background.

To the left of the numeral, the word “копеек” is engraved vertically, aligned with the edge of the coin. At the base of the numeral, a circular decorative motif is set within the lower curve of the “5.” This motif is made up of repeating geometric shapes arranged symmetrically, giving it a structured and ornamental appearance.

The overall composition is compact and balanced, with the large numeral acting as the central anchor.

Reverse

The reverse features the national emblem of Belarus in a centred and symmetrical layout. The emblem includes a stylised map surrounded by a wreath formed from wheat sheaves, with additional floral and ribbon elements incorporated into the design.

A small star sits above the emblem, while the word “БЕЛАРУСЬ” is engraved below in bold lettering. Beneath this, the year “2009” is positioned centrally.

Fine engraved lines define the details of the wreath, ribbon, and central emblem, creating depth and texture across the surface while maintaining a cohesive circular composition.
