| Additional information |
Issued under Belarus's long-running sacred art bullion program, which has produced dozens of icon-themed issues since the early 2000s. The National Bank of Belarus contracted state-approved ecclesiastical artists for these designs, working within the Russian Orthodox iconographic tradition that dominates religious life in the country.
The 500-gram format places this squarely among the bank's prestige devotional issues, where partial gold plating is applied selectively by hand after striking — a process that introduces enough variation between individual pieces to make strict gem grading comparisons unreliable across the series.
