For the price of the car. Belarusian commemorative coins are among the most expensive and beautiful in the world. Coins of Belarus. Commemorative and negotiable. Silver and gold Belarusian coins and what’s on them
The monetary system of the Republic of Belarus has recently undergone major changes. The denomination has passed. Citizens of the Republic of Belarus took the new type of money into their hands for the first time.
New money
The National Bank has already released a certain amount of money into circulation to replace such coins. Small coins of Belarus (the photo shows this nuance well) are small in size compared to the money of other countries and are inconvenient to use.
Rubles
The Mint issued two types of money: 1 and 2 rubles. They are made of white metal. Banknotes of 2 rubles have a rim made of golden metal. The reverse depicts the denomination and ornament, which personifies the desire of the Belarusian people for happiness and freedom. All the ornaments on money are different, but their meaning is the same. The edge of the coins is ribbed.
Banknotes of 1 ruble are made of steel with a copper-nickel coating. Banknotes of 2 rubles are made of bimetal: the middle is steel, the edges are steel with a copper-brass coating.
Kopeks
The Mint issued three types of large banknotes: 50, 20, 10 kopecks and three types of small coins: 5, 2, 1 kopeck. Large Belarusian coins have a golden hue. The obverse of kopecks has the same image as all money. On the reverse large coins the denomination and ornament flaunt, which personifies the fertility and vitality of the Belarusian land. The edge of banknotes is ribbed with segments. They are made of steel with a copper-brass coating.
Small coins have a copper tint. On the reverse they depict the denomination and ornament, which personifies the prosperity and wealth of the Belarusian people. The edge of money is smooth. Small banknotes are made of copper-plated steel.
Coins appeared in the country for the first time in the entire history of the existence of the Belarusian ruble, but have already entered into circulation. Despite their minor shortcomings, all issued coins of the Republic of Belarus are legal tender of this state.
Belarusian commemorative coins- among the most expensive and beautiful in the world
Since July 1, coins have been widely circulated in Belarus: kopecks and rubles. Everyday coins will appear in circulation for the first time since independence, although our country has been issuing commemorative coins for more than twenty years. Today, as part of a joint project with the National Bank - “” - we will study the most interesting, rare and amazing coins on which “Republic of Belarus” is stamped.
The first commemorative coins were withdrawn from sale due to black spots
The National Bank website says: “On December 27, 1996, the first coins of the Republic of Belarus were issued. Their appearance is the result of the formation of a sovereign state and its emission institution.” These were 1 ruble coins dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the UN. They were minted in London, at the Royal Mint.
However, in fact, the first coins appeared a year earlier. In the summer of 1995, the Cabinet of Ministers of Belarus and the National Bank issued a resolution: “To issue into circulation in 1995 gold and silver coins dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.” Patriotic War and outstanding events in the history of Belarus, reflecting its national and cultural-historical traditions (hereinafter referred to as coins). The coins are issued in 50 series with denominations in each series of 1000, 500, 250, 125 and 50 rubles, 1000 coins in each denomination and are sold at collector prices.”
Fifty episodes of five denominations - a large production volume! The American mint Liberty Mint, Inc from the state of Utah undertook to mint gold coins. Denomination - 1000 rubles, diameter - 32.6 mm, weight - 31.1 grams, material - 999.9 standard gold. After some time, it turned out that dark spots appeared on the surface of the coin - as they explained, particles of either copper or platinum. For a coin of frosted proof quality, this is literally an indelible stain of shame. So the coins were hastily withdrawn from sale. But collectors managed to snap up about a hundred of them at a price of $1,200 (with the average salary in the country being 755,129 rubles, or only $66)…
The coin was stamped with: “50th year of Peramogi in Vyalikay Aichynnai Vaine”, with the usual “u” instead of “short”
And in the fall of 2009, coins of this series again appeared for sale at the cash desks of Belagroprombank. For a 50-ruble coin they asked for approximately $660, for a 125-ruble coin - $1,280, for a 250-ruble coin - $1,710, and for a 500-ruble coin - $2,275. They are still on sale now. But at the same time, coins of this series are no longer legal tender. The history of the issue of these coins was described in detail in the September 2003 issue of the Banking Bulletin magazine.
Now a thousand-ruble coin can be found at one of the Belarusian auctions for 320 million rubles, or 16 thousand dollars. For the same money you can buy yourself two new Lada cars.
The heaviest coin weighs more than a kilogram
As a rule, coins are issued in a round shape - this is how it happened historically. Sometimes they make a hole in them. Occasionally, coins are minted with the number of angles from three to fourteen.
Belarusian commemorative coins also come in different forms. For example, a coin in honor of the Struve arc has the shape of a square with rounded corners; coins of the “World of Sculpture” series and some others are rectangular, coins of the “Fairy-Tale Works of A.S. Pushkin” series are oval.
They try to make commemorative coins from precious metals - gold, silver. They are often inlaid precious stones or decorate in other ways. Let's say some fragments silver coins series “Orthodox miraculous icons” are filled with gold.
Many coins have colored elements - they are made using pad printing.
Color variety can also be achieved using enamel.
Applied to metal and holographic images.
Coins from the “Tales of the Peoples of the World” series boast inserts made of amber or artificial zircon, the “Lives of Saints of the Orthodox Church” series - Swarovski crystals and pearls, and the “Orthodox Saints” series. 2013" - cubic zirconia.
Also among the Belarusian commemorative coins there are several that are interesting for their size. Most often our round commemorative coins have a diameter of 30 to 50 mm, very often 31.8 mm. And here are the records. Several silver thousand-ruble coins have a diameter of exactly 10 cm and weigh a kilogram, the leader is a 2007 coin with the image of the cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk: 1,083.8 grams!
And here is another leader, but from the other side: the 5-ruble coin of 2013, dedicated to the Belarusian ballet, its diameter is only 11 mm. It turns out interesting: these 5 gold rubles are smaller in size and weight than the 1-kopeck Belarusian coin, which will go into circulation on July 1.
Among the world's circulating coins, the record for miniature size belongs to two round pieces: 10 Mexican centavos and 1 Dutch Antillean cent, both with a diameter of 14 mm, so our “five” will be even smaller.
These are the denominations!
As is known, circulating Belarusian coins are issued in the following denominations: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 kopecks and 1 and 2 rubles. Commemorative coins add a dozen more denominations. So, in addition to the already mentioned first Belarusian gold coins, among which were 125 and 250 rubles (which, however, never became a means of payment), coins were issued in the following denominations: 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 rubles. Since after denomination all commemorative coins must be accepted at face value, the largest means of payment in the country will be a thousand ruble coin. And this - at the latest exchange rate at the end of June - is almost exactly 500 dollars!
Thousand-ruble coins were issued in half a dozen different series. For example, the 2007 155 gram gold coin had a mintage of only 99 pieces. At the auction, the coin is asking for 255 million rubles (approximately $12,750), despite the fact that it contains almost 130 million rubles worth of pure gold alone. A similar gold thousand-ruble note, also from the “Belarusian Ballet” series, but from 2013, was released in an even smaller edition - only 49 pieces.

Where does the National Bank mint coins?
Belarus does not have its own mint. Where then are our coins minted? It turns out that in different time we placed orders in ten countries. After an unsuccessful experience with the Liberty Mint, Inc from Provo (Utah), the Americans were no longer approached.
The first reliable contractor, as we have already noted, in 1996 was the British Royal Mint from London; then they began to cooperate with the Polish Mint (Mennica Polska, Warsaw). The Lithuanian Mint (Lietuvos monetų kalykla, Vilnius) mints both commemorative and circulation coins for us.
In Germany, orders were placed at three mints at once: B.H. Mayers Kunstpregeanstalt (now Mayer Mint GmbH, Karlsfeld/Pforzheim), the Hamburg State Mint (Hamburgische Münze) and the Staatliche Münze Berlin, Berlin. .
In Russia, our coins were minted at the St. Petersburg Goznak and its branch, the Moscow Mint. Also, coins for Belarus were stamped at the Kazakhstan Mint of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Ust-Kamenogorsk), the Bulgarian Mint (Moneten Dvor EAD, Sofia), the Royal Mint of the Netherlands (Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt, Utrecht), the Valcambi Mint (Balerna, Switzerland) and the Finnish Mint (Suomen Rahapaja Oy, Vantaa).
Most of the orders were completed by Poles, Lithuanians, Kazakhs and Germans from Karlsfeld. But the mint in the Slovak city of Kremnica minted only everyday coins; open sources name denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 50 kopecks and 1 ruble.
You are the cutest in the world
Belarusian commemorative coins have repeatedly become winners and laureates of international “beauty” competitions. Back in 2005, the coin from the Belarusian Ballet series won the Coin of the Year competition. The coins “Narochansky National Park” achieved success in various categories. Mute Swan", "Easter", "Maslenitsa", "Cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk", "BPS-Sberbank. 90 years old", "Belarusian Railway. 150 years."
At an international competition in Vicenza, Italy, our coins took second (“A Thousand and One Nights”, “Housewarming”, “International Arts Festival Slavic Bazaar in Vitebsk”) and first (“Epiphany”) places. The international competition “Coin Constellation” in Russia also added awards: “Peregrine Falcon”, “Legend of the Stork” and “Cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk” became winners; “Maslenitsa”, “Belarusian Ballet 2007”, again “The Cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk” and “The Legend of the Cuckoo” took second place in various categories; "Housewarming" won third place. Also “Zodiac Signs” and “First World War"received the Special Prize of the organizing committee, and "Cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk" and "St. Nicholas the Wonderworker" received the Audience Award.
Error for numismatist
In 1998, a rare but not so incredible event occurred: the National Bank issued a coin with an error. For the 200th anniversary of the birth of Adam Mickiewicz, a commemorative coin dedicated to the poet was minted. But the date of death was entered incorrectly: instead of 1855, 1854 was indicated. While the defect was removed from sale and replaced with the correct version, numismatists managed to buy 94 coins. More recently, in June, one of them surfaced at a Belarusian auction, but the 30 million rubles offered by one of the collectors did not exceed the minimum established price, and the auction did not take place. The same “Mitskevich”, but without the mistake, is sold for 1-2 million rubles.
Over the past almost 20 years, the National Bank has issued at least 324 varieties of commemorative coins in 43 series. The release plan for 2016 includes 10 more varieties. So far, the most recent coins are “2016 Biathlon World Championships. Oslo", " Olympic Games 2016. Rowing and canoeing" and "Skaryna's Path. Krakow."

Coin Condition Assessment
Proof- coins of the highest collectible quality, issued specifically for collectors. They are made with polished stamps on a polished circle, while the stamps are struck on the blank twice, in the same place, in order to achieve maximum display of the coin’s design. The main distinguishing features of these coins are a mirror field without any visible defects and a matte design.
ProofLike- the same as Proof, but for coins made of non-precious metals (Currently the Proof category provides for minting only in precious metals).
Brilliant uncirculated (BU)- the same as ProofLike, but the image is not matted, the field is not always mirrored.
UNC (uncirculated)- a coin with a good metallic luster, minted with unworn dies and not in circulation. Under a two-fold magnification magnifying glass, embossing defects, scratches, nicks and other damage are invisible. The highest grade of condition for most coins.
AU (about uncirculated)- if the protruding part of the coin is different in color from the rest of the surface of the coin, then this coin can no longer be considered UNC. These are coins with minimal wear. The attrition of such coins, determined at the highest point of their relief, can be expressed in some tarnishing of this area, the absence of patina, any part of the coin may be somewhat “shiny,” also if there are small spots on the coin.
XF (Extremely Fine)- the coin was minted with unworn stamps, has light abrasions visible to the naked eye in the highest areas of the relief, and small scratches that are formed as a result of coins hitting each other at the mint. The contours of the drawings are contrasting, all the smallest details of the relief are preserved, the embossed shine is completely preserved.
VF (Very Fine)- a coin that has been in circulation for a long time and has noticeable signs of wear on the protruding areas of the design, minor scratches and nicks. The general condition of the coin is good, the contours of the relief are clear, the minting shine has been lost.
F – (Fine)- a coin with traces of a very long stay in circulation, with severe abrasions on the entire surface, traces of corrosion and cleaning. Small details are difficult to discern, the contours of the relief have lost their sharpness.
VG (Very Good)- a coin with very significant abrasions on the entire surface, damaged in the form of deep scratches, notches and shells. Small details of the design, inscription and date of issue are difficult to distinguish or not distinguishable at all.
G (Good)- defective coins, or coins almost worn out from long-term circulation, having very serious damage, such as deformation of the disk, holes, very deep scratches, notches, cavities, severe wear, in which it is very difficult or impossible to determine the denomination and date of issue of the coin.

Among Belarusian money there are rare banknotes that are quite expensive. There are not many of these banknotes. Just in case, check the banknotes in your wallet for rare ones. Perhaps your 50,000 Belarusian rubles is 50 US dollars.
After the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus removed banknotes of 10 and 20 rubles from circulation on March 1, 2013, banknotes of 50 and 100 rubles became the minimum denominations in circulation. The official exchange rate of the Belarusian ruble against the US dollar on March 1, 2013 was 8,600 BYR.
Looking ahead, I will say in this article there is a list of rare Belarusian banknotes with approximate prices for them.
Almost every day I read news that the exchange rate of the Belarusian ruble has once again fallen against the dollar, euro and Russian ruble. As of August 16, the exchange rate of the Belarusian ruble (according to the National Bank) is as follows:
- 1 EUR (Euro) = 13880 Br
- 1 USD (US Dollar) = 10380 Br
- 1 RUB (Russian ruble) = 288.50 Br
I am sure that almost all Belarusians, against the backdrop of such currency news, are unable to believe that Belarusian rubles can be worth real money. When the exchange rate of 1 US dollar is more than ten thousand Belarusian rubles, not everyone is able to believe that one banknote of 100 or even 50 Belarusian rubles can be sold for $10 or even $20. When receiving a salary in Belarusian rubles, it is difficult to believe that Belarusian rubles can be exchanged for American dollars at a rate hundreds of times higher than the rate of the National Bank of Belarus.
Everyone has heard about numismatists, and many even collected coins themselves in childhood. But not everyone knows about bonistics. Bonistics is collecting paper bills, a hobby that is less common than numismatics, but bond collectors spend no less money on their hobby. Just as among coins there are rare specimens worth big money, and among paper money There are rare banknotes that are especially valuable to collectors.
For the average Belarusian, collecting Belarusian money, especially those in circulation, is a strange activity... But I assure you that Belarusian banknotes are collected by a fairly large number of bankers not only in Belarus but also beyond its borders. But, as you might expect, the main market for collectible Belarusian money is in Belarus.
About how to navigate the “collectibility” of modern Belarusian money.
There are currently 10 banknotes in circulation:
- 50 rubles
- 100 rubles
- 500 rubles
- 1000 rubles
- 5000 rubles
- 10,000 rubles
- 20,000 rubles
- 50,000 rubles
- 100,000 rubles
- 200,000 rubles
Recently, 10 and 20 ruble bills were also in circulation, and I think many still have them.
For ordinary people, all these 12 banknotes are the same, but collectors like to complicate everything and take into account all modifications when collecting.
Banknotes in denominations of 50 and 50,000 rubles can be in two modifications - 2000 and 2010. These two modifications are distinguished by the writing of the denomination. In 2010, a new spelling was adopted Belarusian language According to which, on the 50-ruble and 50,000-ruble banknotes of the 2000 model, the word pyatsdzyasyat began to contain a spelling error, the correct spelling should be pyatsdzyasyat. Therefore, these two banknotes were issued with a new spelling.
Banknotes in denominations of 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000 come in the 2000 model and the 2011 modification. The 2011 modification is distinguished by changes in degrees of protection.
What banknotes are collectors willing to pay hundreds of times their face value for?
And so, on each banknote there is a serial number. It is unique for each banknote. The serial number consists of a series of letters and a serial number of numbers. The price of a particular banknote is influenced by both the letter series and numbers.
The lower the banknote number, the more interesting it is for a collector. The more beautiful the banknote number, the more expensive it can be sold. Numbers like 9999999 are especially valued.
In addition, for a number of reasons, there are simply rare series of banknotes.
List of rare Belarusian banknotes:
- 50,000 rubles, model 2000, series ZN – price about $40 (UNC)
- 50,000 rubles, model 2000, BP series – price about $50 (UNC)
- 50,000 rubles, model 2000, GR series – price about $50 (UNC)
- 10,000 rubles RA series – price about 15$
- 10,000 rubles GR series – price about 15$
- 10 rubles series BI - price about 3$
- 1000 rubles ST series – about $0.9
- 20 rubles 2000 series Kg
- 10 rubles series VL price about 30$
This list is not complete and I will gradually expand it. The only thing worth remembering is that the better the collectible state of a banknote, the more it can be worth. Usually banknotes that are not in circulation are collected only. Even the smallest bend in the corner greatly reduces the price of the banknote.
In Germany, orders were placed at three mints at once: B.H. Mayers Kunstpregeanstalt (now Mayer Mint GmbH, Karlsfeld/Pforzheim), the Hamburg State Mint (Hamburgische Münze) and the Staatliche Münze Berlin, Berlin. .
In Russia, our coins were minted at the St. Petersburg Goznak and its branch, the Moscow Mint. Also, coins for Belarus were stamped at the Kazakhstan Mint of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Ust-Kamenogorsk), the Bulgarian Mint (Moneten Dvor EAD, Sofia), the Royal Mint of the Netherlands (Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt, Utrecht), the Valcambi Mint (Balerna, Switzerland) and the Finnish Mint (Suomen Rahapaja Oy, Vantaa).
Most of the orders were completed by Poles, Lithuanians, Kazakhs and Germans from Karlsfeld. But the mint in the Slovak city of Kremnica minted only everyday coins; open sources name denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 50 kopecks and 1 ruble.

Also, “Signs of the Zodiac” and “The First World War” received the Special Prize of the organizing committee, and “Cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk” and “St. Nicholas the Wonderworker” received the Audience Award.

Over the past almost 20 years, the National Bank has issued at least 324 varieties of commemorative coins in 43 series. The release plan for 2016 includes 10 more varieties. So far, the most recent coins are “2016 Biathlon World Championships. Oslo", "Olympic Games 2016. Rowing and canoeing" and "Skaryna's Path. Krakow."
