To the left the year of issue; bottom center – face value.
Reverse
The central place is given to the image of "The Battle of the Nemiga River" miniature from the Radziwill Chronicle, the literature monument of the early 13th century. Military confrontation between the troops of Vseslav Charodei ("Sorcerer") of Polotsk and Princes of the Principalities of Kiev, Pereyaslav and Chernigov - sons of Prince Yaroslav the Wise - came to its culmination on March 3, 1067.
At the bottom of the coin, the historic names of the city are placed ("МЪНЬСКЪ", "МЕНЕСК", "МЕНСК"). The position of letters embodies the still flow of the Nemiga River.
