| Additional information |
Belarus has issued commemorative silver in the ballet theme repeatedly since the early 2000s, building a serialized program around the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus in Minsk — an institution that survived the Soviet collapse largely intact and remains one of the few state-funded opera and ballet companies in the former Soviet space operating at near-Soviet scale of subsidy. The 2015 issue falls within that ongoing series rather than marking any singular event.
KM#496 is among several National Bank issues from this period struck at the Mint of Poland in Warsaw, which has handled a substantial share of Belarusian commemorative production since domestic minting capacity remained limited.
