| Additional information |
Part of Belarus's long-running silver wildlife series, this issue belongs to a program that began in the early 2000s and has documented dozens of native flora and fauna with unusual consistency for a post-Soviet central bank. Potentilla rupestris — rock cinquefoil — is a protected species in Belarus, listed in the national Red Book of rare and endangered plants. Its inclusion reflects a genuine conservation mandate, not ornamental selection.
