Additional information

Belarus has issued an extensive series of wildlife-themed copper-nickel roubles since the early 2000s, many catalogued under close KM numbers, producing a run so prolific that secondary market premiums remain thin across most of the series. The Common Nightjar — a migratory bird that winters in sub-Saharan Africa and breeds across Belarus and wider Europe — is a logical inclusion, though its cryptic, ground-nesting habits make it one of the more ecologically interesting subjects in the set.
