Belarus 10 rubles Endangered Wildlife Curlew Bird Fauna PR68 PCGS Ag coin 2011

The Belarus 10 rubles silver coin “Curlew – Bird of the Year 2011” continues the Conservation of Wildlife series, dedicated to preserving rare and symbolic representatives of Belarusian fauna. Issued by the National Bank of Belarus, it celebrates the Eurasian curlew, a wading bird recognizable by its long curved beak and elegant silhouette, often found in wetlands and meadows. The obverse of the coin bears the national emblem of the Republic of Belarus and inscriptions “РЭСПУБЛIКА БЕЛАРУСЬ” and “10 РУБЛЁЎ.” The design also features a stylized bird in a nest, symbolizing protection of nature, accompanied by the year of issue “2011” and the fineness “Ag 925.” On the reverse, the curlew is shown standing gracefully on the ground, with finely engraved plumage and its distinctive downward-curved bill. Surrounding inscriptions read “ПТУШКА ГОДА” (“Bird of the Year”) and “ВЯЛІКІ КУЛЁН” (“Curlew”). The Proof strike with contrasting polished fields and frosted reliefs makes the bird’s natural pose exceptionally vivid. Struck in sterling silver, the coin is graded PR68DCAM by PCGS, confirming its excellent preservation. With limited mintage and ecological importance, this coin is highly valued among collectors of ornithological and wildlife-themed issues, uniting artistry, symbolism, and conservation.
