| Additional information |
Belarus issued a series of large-format gold collector pieces in the mid-2000s as part of an aggressive numismatic export program — the National Bank was effectively running a hard-currency generation scheme at a time when the Belarusian rouble was chronically soft and the country was locked out of most Western credit markets. The Bolshoi Ballet of Belarus, based in Minsk, provided the cultural prestige needed to market these coins internationally at significant premiums over melt.
At 155.5 g of .999 gold, KM#410 sits in the five-troy-ounce category — a weight class chosen deliberately to appeal to institutional and museum-grade collectors rather than the retail market.
