| Additional information |
Budslau's Church of the Assumption has been a Catholic pilgrimage site since at least the 17th century, centered on a venerated icon of the Virgin Mary brought to the region by Jesuits around 1598. The annual Budslau Feast, held each July, draws tens of thousands of pilgrims and was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2018 — one of the few Catholic devotional traditions from the former Soviet space to receive that recognition.
Belarus has issued extensively in this bimetallic format to document religious and architectural heritage, this piece falling within a long-running commemorative circulation series rather than a precious-metal collector issue.
