| Additional information |
Belarus hosted the 2014 IIHF World Championship in Minsk — the country's first time staging the tournament — and the National Bank issued commemorative coinage ahead of the event. The 2014 championship was notable for being held despite significant political pressure from some member nations over Belarus's human rights record, with calls to relocate the tournament that the IIHF ultimately rejected.
The two-year gap between this coin's 2012 strike date and the event it commemorates is unremarkable for Belarusian numismatic practice; the bank routinely issued sports commemoratives well in advance of the occasions they marked.
