Belarus has issued wildlife-themed silver rounds under its commemorative program for decades, and the lunar calendar subseries has drawn consistent collector interest across the post-Soviet space. The cubic zirconia inset, a production technique Belarus's mint has applied across numerous commemorative issues, is sourced and set prior to striking rather than added as a post-mint enhancement.
The Tiger is the 49th of the 60-year cycle, and the 2022 lunar year it commemorates began February 1st.
