The Eurasian Economic Union formally came into force on January 1, 2015, uniting Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan under a single economic framework — Belarus issued this commemorative within months of that date. The union was partly Lukashenko's project; he had pushed for deeper post-Soviet economic integration since the late 1990s, well before Moscow made it a priority.
KM#487 is a modest copper-nickel commemorative rather than a precious-metal issue, suggesting it was intended for general circulation or low-cost collectibility rather than prestige presentation.
