Belarus redenominated in July 2016, lopping four zeros off the old ruble to introduce a new currency family — this 5 ruble note belongs to that post-redenomination series, which replaced a monetary system so inflated that the largest circulating note had been 200,000 rubles. The 2019 date indicates a supplemental print run rather than the initial 2016 issue, a common practice for Goznak clients managing circulation reserves.
Goznak's Moscow facility has supplied Belarusian currency since independence, an arrangement that carries obvious geopolitical weight given the two countries' relationship under the Union State framework.
