| Additional information |
Part of Belarus's long-running zodiac series, this piece belongs to a group of issues that pushed filigree silversmithing into coin production in ways most Western mints avoided entirely. The movable element — a hand-crafted filigree component that shifts freely within its capsule — required assembly techniques closer to jewelry manufacture than conventional striking, which kept mintages extremely low and production costs correspondingly high.
