The National Bank of the Republic of Belarus is a traditional participant of the COINS.

For example, last year the participants of COINS-2016 could visually trace the history of the 500th anniversary of Belarusian book printing, expressed in modern coins and medals. It should be noted that Svetlana Nekrasova was awarded the prize “For the contribution to the development of commemorative coins market” at the awarding ceremony of the laureates of the “Coin Constellation-2016”.

“Each coin is created in its own way, – Svetlana Nekrasova tells about her forthcoming report at the COINS-2017. – There are no two identical monetary stories, as there are no two identical designs. The project of a commemorative coin goes a long way from exploring the theme to the formation of the idea and its artistic embodiment. This way is full of unexpected twists and surprises. What role in the process of finding the idea of coins having a case, and how it affects to the end result – the appearance of the coin is the theme of our presentation”.

Investment coin “George the Victorious” – 1 ounce of gold

Roman Olivanchik is a traditional participant of the COINS. As a rule, his speeches at sessions, which are devoted to investments, always gather a lot of listeners and cause heated discussions.

At this time analyst of JSC “Architecture of Finance” will touch upon the topic of one-ounce gold coins “George the Victorious”.

You will ask a rhetorical question: “Is the Bank of Russia puts into circulation gold coins “George the Victorious “of such mass?”

And you will be right! Since 2006, the Central Bank has been issuing gold ” The Victorious ” with a denomination of 50 rubles and weight of 7.78 grams (1/4 troy ounce). The quality of these coins is “uncirculated”. In 2012, the Bank of Russia issued gold coins denomination of 50 rubles (7.78 grams) and 100 rubles (15.55 grams) in “proof” quality in a limited edition (by 10000 pieces).

Gold investment coins “George the Victorious ” with a mass of 1 troy ounce are not minted in Russia. Moreover, even in the Central Bank plan of issuing into circulation of commemorative and investment coins in 2017-2018, these coins do not appear…

So, it will be more interesting for you to listen the report of Roman Olivanchik!
