Part of Belarus's expansive "religions of the world" commemorative program launched in the late 1990s, this issue addresses Roman Catholicism's particular significance in western Belarus — a region historically part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth where Catholic communities survived Soviet-era suppression in ways the Orthodox church did not. The National Bank issued parallel pieces for Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism simultaneously, an unusual gesture of official pluralism from a state that had spent decades suppressing all four.
Copper-nickel was the workhorse of this entire commemorative series. None of these pieces were intended for circulation.
