| Additional information |
Issued under Belarus's long-running commemorative bullion program, which has produced gold and silver pieces tied to Orthodox religious iconography since the early 2000s. The National Bank of Belarus — which retains direct authority over commemorative issues rather than delegating to a separate mint — contracted strikes of this type to the Mint of Poland in Warszawa, one of the primary production facilities for Belarusian commemoratives during this period.
At 5g of .999 gold, this sits at the lighter end of the program's gold denominations, with larger 50g and 100g issues struck for the same series.
