Part of Belarus's long-running series celebrating dance traditions from around the world, this issue was produced during a period when the Belarusian ruble was under severe pressure — the country experienced a currency crisis in 2011 that saw the ruble lose roughly half its value against the dollar within months. Collector silver issues denominated in the now-defunct pre-redenomination rouble carry a certain irony: the face value became economically meaningless almost immediately after striking.
