A silver proof 100 rubles from Belarus celebrating the Belarusian Ballet has been selected as the Coin of the Year by a panel of numismatic judges. The obverse depicts the National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theater of the Republic of Belarus; the reverse features a relief effigy of a scene from the national ballet "Passions." Before it won the top COTY honor, this coin was one of 10 category-winning finalists. It was the top vote-getter in the Most Artistic Coin category. It has a 64mm diameter and weighs 155.5 grams, with a mintage of 1,000 pieces. The current awards were for coins produced in 2003. You can see the full list of category winners here.

I've been hooked on coins from Belarus since I discovered them a year or two ago. My first "wow" moment was the The Bogs of Almany State Park (the owl) 20 roubles silver proof. Their minting process seems to be of very high quality.

I only have a 1997 rouble for the 1998 Winter Olympics; it's my "One From Every Country" representative coin from Belarus. Technically, I didn't "need" a Belarussian coin since they've never made circulation coins, but last year I went and bought one anyway from a dealer at the local coin show.   The sport depicted is the biathlon; Belarus won a bronze medal in this sport (Alexei Aidarov, men's 20km individual) at the '98 Games; one of only two medals they won there. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I have a few coins from Belarus and all are very eye appealling works of art! My favorite would be the mute swans which were minted, if I remember correctly, in 2002 or 2003? I have both the cupro nickel and the silver versions! Little tough to locate in the U.S. but friends in Europe and a little luck on ebay has brought me a few coins. |

The mute swan is one of the nicest-looking coins I own. It's very hard to find now. I'm so happy I got a proof one for myself 2-3 years ago.
