| Additional information |
Part of Belarus's long-running folk tales series, this rouble draws on a Belarusian legend in which a cuckoo — unable to care for her young — is transformed into the bird condemned to call endlessly without a nest of her own. The National Bank launched this collector series in the early 2000s as a deliberate cultural documentation project, issuing copper-nickel pieces at face value while maintaining limited mintages to sustain secondary market interest.
KM#306 is a circulation-strike collector issue, not legal tender in any practical sense despite its nominal rouble denomination.
