| Aanvullende informatie |
The Icon of Minsk (Minskaya ikona) is among the most venerated objects in Belarusian Orthodox tradition, with documented history tracing to the late 15th century. According to historical accounts, it was discovered floating on the Svislach River in 1500 following the sack of Kiev by Crimean Tatars, retrieved by local residents, and subsequently installed in a church on the site that would become the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit — still its home today. Belarus has issued several commemorative gold pieces drawing on Orthodox religious iconography, a deliberate cultural positioning that accelerated after independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The 100g .999 fine specification places this firmly in the collector bullion category rather than circulation-adjacent issues.
