Additional information

Belarus has issued collector gold in small fractional weights tied to the Winter Olympic cycle since the mid-2000s, and the biathlon issues reflect the country's genuine competitive investment in the sport — Belarusian athletes have won multiple Olympic biathlon medals, making this something other than generic sports theming. The 2016 date places it outside an Olympic year, part of a broader commemorative program rather than a Games-specific release.

KM#555 is a proof issue with extremely limited distribution, sold primarily through the National Bank's own retail channels and select European numismatic dealers.
