| Additional information |
Belarus hosted the 2014 IIHF World Championship in Minsk — a significant political and sporting coup for Lukashenko's government, awarded despite considerable international skepticism about the country's human rights record. The coin was issued two years ahead of the tournament, which was unusual but not unprecedented for Belarusian commemorative programs targeting collector markets well before event dates.
