1 Rouble Taurus

Part of Belarus's long-running zodiac series issued through the 2010s, this rouble was struck as a collector piece with no genuine circulation intent — the oxidized finish making that explicit from the outset. The National Bank of Belarus produced numerous thematic commemorative roubles during this period as the country's currency was under sustained pressure following the catastrophic devaluation of 2011, when the Belarusian rouble lost roughly half its value against the dollar within months.
