| Additional information |
Ignacy Domeyko — Polish by birth, Chilean by adoption — spent decades mapping the geology of the Andes and restructuring the University of Chile, where he served as rector for many years. Belarus claimed him as part of a broader commemorative program celebrating figures of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth territories, a politically freighted exercise in shared heritage that Chile, Poland, and Belarus have each pursued through their own coinage.
This issue is part of a prolific Belarusian silver commemorative series from the early 2000s that flooded the collector market.
