| Additional information |
Belarus has issued wildlife coins steadily since the early 2000s, but the Nightjar — a nocturnal, ground-nesting bird easily overlooked in conservation discourse — is an unusual choice even within that program. The species is in measurable decline across Europe due to habitat loss on heathlands and forest clearings, which may explain its inclusion in what the National Bank has positioned as a conservation awareness series.
KM#715 was struck at the Mint of Poland in Warsaw, which has handled the bulk of Belarusian commemorative production for years, the country lacking its own dedicated coinage facility.
