interesting facts:

Belarusian coins were produced with the date 2009 because they were prepared for the monetary reform aimed that year. Eventually, the ruble [BYR] was only devalued in 2009 and the National Bank started waiting for a better economic situation. In the meantime, it was decided that a two-ruble coins would be also needed and such were ordered back-dated to 2009 as the previous types. The coins were finally issued in 2016 as the Belarusian ruble coins [BYN]. They were the first circulation coins of independent Belarus in its history.
