The Slutsk belt was among the most expensive luxury objects producible in 18th-century Poland-Lithuania — a single sash could cost as much as a serf. Woven in silk and gold thread at the Slutsk manufactory founded by the Radziwiłł magnate family around 1757, the belts became a defining element of the Sarmatian aesthetic that dominated Polish-Lithuanian noble dress for over a century. The manufactory changed hands several times before closing after the partitions dismembered the Commonwealth.
Belarus has issued multiple coins in this series, each highlighting a different aspect of the belt tradition. This copper-nickel circulation-commemorative is the lower-denomination counterpart to a corresponding silver proof issue.
