| Additional information |
Part of Belarus's ongoing "Religions and Spiritual Traditions" series, this issue acknowledges the historically significant Jewish communities of the Pale of Settlement, much of which fell within modern Belarusian territory. By the late nineteenth century, Jews constituted a majority population in dozens of Belarusian towns — Pinsk, Grodno, Minsk itself — before the Holocaust reduced that presence to near nothing.
Mintage across the series was tightly limited, typically under five thousand pieces per issue.
