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.

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 of large coins there is a denomination and an ornament that 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.

In just six months, Belarusian rubles of the 2000 model will be taken out of circulation and will lose their payment ability, but will they remain valuable for collecting? And in general, does it have any value? What are the rarest banknotes?

About it website talked to the bonist Valery Blotsky.

Valery has been collecting banknotes since 2012, but, he says, without fanaticism. He prefers to keep tables that contain all the information about rare Belarusian banknotes: when they appeared, how much they were offered for at auctions, and how much they were eventually sold for. The work is voluminous and complex - this is such a hobby.

Looking through all the banknotes in everyday life has already become a habit for him. At home, Valery has an ultraviolet lamp to see the ultraviolet protection of a banknote or to check whether it has been treated, for example, with chemicals.

Let's start the conversation with the name of Belarusian money. These are not rubles or bills or banknotes, as we used to call them, but tickets - by the way, that’s what is written on them. Each ticket has a series and number. Collectors collect tickets mainly by series.

From 1992 to 1999, 274 series of all the money in circulation at that time were issued, but even in one series there can be two types of banknotes, which may differ, for example, in the design of the watermark. In total, 300 varieties of banknotes were issued in 1992-1999.

Collectors are more often interested in banknotes of the 2000 model - 393 series were issued, and taking into account varieties - 430.

For collecting, it is important to have at least one copy from each series, and bonists strive to get this copy in perfect condition.

The “latest” series, samples and beautiful numbers are valued

The value of banknotes depends on their quantity (at auctions, in circulation) and condition. The latest episodes are considered the most valuable. What does the last one mean? Suppose Belarus orders the printing of 30 million banknotes, they are printed, divided into three series of 10 million copies each. But since defects are possible during printing, and the agreed edition needs to be released in full, an additional fourth series is released, where the missing quantity is obtained - this is the last series, in which, naturally, there will be less than 10 million copies.

Samples of banknotes are of particular value - this is a rarity, because they practically do not go beyond the banks. Due to its rarity, a specimen can cost around $1,000.

“In Transnistria, for example, you can freely buy samples, but here they are purely for official purposes. They are located in bank branches, and only the head of the branch has access to them. But funny things also happen. Once upon a time, during a tour of a foreign delegation to the National Bank, at the request of one of these representatives, a high-ranking employee of the National Bank brought four samples of Belarusian banknotes and presented them to this person. Thanks to this, they got onto the market,”- says Valery.

In 2014, in Belarus, there was a record sale of a 5,000 ruble banknote from the rare AG series, and it was reported that it was sold twice, allegedly the first buyer subsequently resold it for a higher price.

In fact, says Valery, the bill was sold only once. The first time the buyer did not buy it, although he won the auction on ay.by, offering $1,580. Later, the bill was placed at the Russian auction “Molotok”, from which it sold for $2,092.

"This is, of course, wildness"- says Valery. In his opinion, the bill was not worth it. Moreover, at the time of sale it was the only known banknote from the AG series, but after this high-profile story other copies were found - now 8 such banknotes are known. They tried to sell them, but to no avail. They offered $1,396 for one banknote, but they never bought it, says the bonist.

“The people who found them think that they are a super rarity and they will make a lot of money,” he says . - In fact, they significantly exaggerate their value, set a minimum price of $1,000, but no one will give that kind of money for them anymore, so there are no normal passages. If we had made an initial bid of 1,000 rubles and no minimum price, then after the sensational auction a real passage would have been recorded, but I think the price would have been no more than $100.”

In addition to the series, the condition of the banknote is of great importance - it must be perfect. The slightest defect reduces the price of the item by an order of magnitude. But the average person and the collector perceive ideal condition differently. The 50,000 dollar bill below seems new and perfect, but it's not.

If you look closely, you can see a bend, a slightly darkened corner and other minor flaws that “kill” the collectible value of the banknote.

Banknotes of the 50000 MS series in perfect condition are rare; one was recently sold at auction for 450 thousand rubles.

“For example, I don’t have one. It was first discovered in 2011, and this banknote ( in the photo above . - website) withdrawn two days ago from an ATM ( the conversation took place in mid-June . - website). This is surprising, because in principle they should have disappeared a long time ago, but it was taken in perfect condition, but, unfortunately, it was damaged, because I wasn’t the one who took the picture - I would have kept it in its original form,”- says Valery.

Banknotes with beautiful numbers are also valued - identical numbers in the number, round numbers or the very first bills in a series (with number 0000001). Recently, a 5,000 ruble banknote of the EB series with the first number was sold for $127, even though it was wrinkled.

The first numbers and numbers 0123456 are considered the rarest, followed by numbers with the same digits, and then numbers ending in zeros, for example, 8000000.

The special find is number 0000000, which is usually assigned to samples.

“Two banknotes, 1000 VA and 1000 VB, are known, which were put into circulation with all zeros, but without the inscription “SAMPLE”. This is a marriage because this shouldn't happen."- explains the bonist.

Only all nines can be cooler than all zeros - 9999999, but no one has seen such banknotes yet. It is believed that they are confiscated, like banknotes with all zeros.

Marriage and mistakes

“They are very valuable, because in principle this should not happen - so many people, so many eyes look through it all, confiscate it and destroy it. Belarusian money was considered one of the most reliable in terms of the number of defects, but thanks to the hype after 5000 AG, people began to pay attention, and a huge number of defects were found. It can no longer be said that Belarusian money is distinguished by a small number of defective banknotes.”

The photo below shows the highlight of Valery’s collection. During printing, the bill tore and bent, resulting in a fragment of the other side's design being printed on one side. In Belarus, only two banknotes with such a defect are known.

Sometimes banknotes are folded so that individual strips are not printed at all, sometimes one layer of the design is not printed, and banknotes can also have different shades.

Showing the defective banknotes, Valery actually asks riddles and asks to find the defect on one or another banknote. It is difficult for an untrained person to do this, especially when you need to find something that is not there: for example, the absence of a series and number on a banknote.

Sometimes one digit on a number may slip off, or the entire number may be printed twice, or the banknote may slide down, or two different numbers may be indicated on one banknote.

Also, the banknote may lack a security strip, or the watermark slides under the design, although it should be on a white background. There is a known case where a red coating remains on the security thread, which is removed during printing.

Sometimes you can find hack work at auctions, says Valery. Some banknotes are deliberately damaged by using an iron to remove part of the design from one banknote to another so that it looks like a defect, and they are sold to inexperienced collectors.

People often come across defective banknotes, but they do not pay attention to them or damage them simply by putting them in their wallet.

“The average person will look: there is some hole or it’s not printed, it’s strange, but then he will think that he needs to buy bread, and will give it to the store. But in fact, this is a value that needs to be shown on the forum or to an experienced collector. In any case, it must be preserved. The more people pay attention to this, the better."- says Valery.

There are also banknotes with errors, but since there are so many of them, they are of no value.

One of the famous banknotes with errors is the 10-ruble banknote of series B AND- with a letter that is not in the Belarusian alphabet.

On the 50 thousandth bill there is an error in the microtext “M AND RSKI ZAMAK”, on the 100,000th banknote at Nesvizh Castle there are Orthodox crosses instead of Radziwill’s eagles.

What will be valued after denomination?

Banknotes issued since 2011 will most likely never be of significant value, with the exception of six series of 115 - 20,000 Gx, 50,000 nS and gp, 100,000 sv and 200,000 be and ge, says Valery.

“People have become more attentive, the number of people interested is increasing, and people have put aside even rare series in huge quantities - not in spines, but in packs (10 spines each),”- he explained.

As soon as many banknotes of one, albeit rare, series appear, the price for them immediately drops significantly.

“Therefore, you need to invest very carefully. For example, there is a banknote of 500 rubles Che, which now costs about 150 dollars, you can buy two of them, and then 10 more pieces will appear, a person will gradually begin to sell them at auction, and the price will drop to 50, or even less.”

Finding something worthwhile in a wallet, according to the bonist, is unlikely, since there will most likely be imperfect specimens there. It is better to pay attention to the bills from the ATM, because... there are more chances to get a new, perfect bill. Also, banknotes in perfect condition are introduced through exchange offices, post offices and bank branches. However, the likelihood of withdrawing a rare series from an ATM is still less than finding an interesting defective one, says Valery.

After the denomination, in his opinion, collectors will continue to collect old money, because the new ones will have a very large denomination.

“Although, maybe this is only at the initial stage,- the bonist argues. - Someone can put aside 500 rubles, and then six months later there will be a threefold devaluation - most likely, he will be very upset.”

Valery himself intends to collect a collection of new banknotes right away and not wait for the moment when the money depreciates.

In his opinion, there is no point in collecting rare coins, especially buying for big money, because “The Chinese will print anything” and will be thrown onto the market, devaluing all others. It was for this reason that he began to pay less attention to collecting coins and subsequently switched to banknotes.

Belarusian commemorative coins are 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 release into circulation in 1995 gold and silver coins dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War and outstanding events in the history of Belarus, reflecting its national and cultural-historical traditions (hereinafter - 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 encrusted with precious stones or decorated in other ways. For example, some fragments of silver coins from the “Orthodox Miracle-Working Icons” series are made of 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 at different times 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”, “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.

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 Review

The first commemorative coins appeared in the Republic of Belarus at the end of 1996. As a rule, coins are issued in series, for example, “Sport”, “Belarus and the World Community”, “Environmental Protection”, but there are also single issues. Recently, any commemorative item has been made in two versions: in a copper-nickel alloy and in silver. The denomination of the first coin is , and the second is .

It is interesting that Belarus does not have its own mint, so it cooperates with other countries, for example, Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, Lithuania, Germany, and Poland. The design for commemorative items is often developed by Belarusian artists.
