Additional information

Belarus hosted the IIHF World Championship in 2014 — the first time the tournament came to Minsk — and the National Bank issued this coin well ahead of the event, in 2013, as part of a broader commemorative program tied to the country's role as host nation. The Belarusian team's qualification for the top division had been a source of genuine national pride since independence, making the hosting rights politically significant for Lukashenko's government.
