In 1996 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations the Royal Mint on behalf of Belarus released a very Limited Issue 1 One Rouble Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver.
The reverse design depicts a hovering stork against the background of the map of Belarus. The Stork is the most respected bird in the country symbolising peace, family life and well being, and is therefore not without reason that the Republic is called 'the land under white wings'.
Belorussian geometric symbols feature in the surrounding legend to form a pleasing decorative border while the obverse bears the State Coat of Arms. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
