Belarus launched an extensive wildlife conservation coin series in the early 2000s, issuing silver pieces tied to species protected under national environmental legislation. The greylag goose, Anser anser, breeds across the Belarusian wetlands of the Pripyat basin — one of the largest remaining lowland marshes in Europe — and has been subject to regulated hunting quotas since Soviet-era conservation codes were revised in the 1990s.
KM#195 is part of a run of 32mm .925 silver issues that frequently see low mintages, typically under 5,000 pieces, though the National Bank has not always published precise figures for individual releases in this series.
