1 Rouble The financial system of Belarus. 100 years

Issued to mark the centenary of Belarus's national banking apparatus, this coin commemorates an institution whose origins trace to 1918 — the same year the short-lived Belarusian People's Republic declared independence, only to be absorbed into Soviet structures within months. The National Bank as it exists today is a post-1991 creation, meaning the "100 years" claim requires a generous reading of institutional continuity across radically different political orders.
