| Additional information |
The Battle of Grunwald in July 1410 was one of the largest pitched battles in medieval European history, where a Polish-Lithuanian coalition decisively defeated the Teutonic Knights, effectively ending the Order's military dominance in the region. The Grand Duchy of Lithuania — whose territory forms the core of modern Belarus — supplied a substantial portion of the coalition forces under Vytautas the Great, giving Belarusian state commemorations a legitimate historical claim to the victory that Polish numismatic issues tend to overshadow.
Belarus issued several coins marking the 600th anniversary of Grunwald in 2010, in both silver and gold denominations.
