| Additional information |
St. Nicholas Church in Mogilev is one of the few surviving examples of Belarusian Baroque architecture, having endured Swedish occupation during the Great Northern War and two centuries of administrative repurposing — including use as a granary under Soviet rule. Its appearance on a circulating bimetallic rouble places it in Belarus's ongoing series commemorating architectural heritage, a program that has produced dozens of regional issues since the early 2000s. The church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church only after 1991.
