| Additional information |
Belarus has issued commemorative coins honoring its internal security and law enforcement services with some regularity, and this 2017 gold piece falls within that institutional series. The Belarusian militia — the term retained from Soviet administrative vocabulary long after independence — functions as the country's civilian police force under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a structure largely unchanged from the MVD apparatus of the USSR.
The 7.78g specification places this squarely in the quarter-ounce format favored by the National Bank for its gold commemorative program.
