| Additional information |
The Cathedral of St. Alexander Nevsky in Kopyś was demolished by Soviet authorities in 1935 as part of the systematic campaign against religious architecture that intensified under Stalin's cultural purge. This coin was issued as part of Belarus's long-running Orthodox Churches series, which began documenting structures both surviving and destroyed — a quiet act of institutional memory by the National Bank.
The pad-printing technique applied to the silver planchet allows color reproduction that standard relief striking cannot achieve, a method Belarusian issues of this period employed extensively for architectural detail work.
