Additional information

Polotsk is among the oldest cities in Belarus, with chronicles placing it as early as 862 AD, and it served as the capital of the Polotsk Principality — one of the earliest distinct political entities in the region. This 1998 issue was part of a broader commemorative program launched by the National Bank shortly after Belarusian independence, aimed at documenting the country's pre-Soviet historical geography at a moment when reclaiming that identity carried real political weight.
