Belarus 10 Rubles St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk PR70 PCGS silver coin 2008

The 2008 Belarus 10 rubles silver coin honors St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk, one of the most revered female saints of Eastern Christianity. Struck in proof quality from sterling silver (.925) and graded PR70 DCAM by PCGS, this coin represents both numismatic excellence and deep spiritual symbolism. On the obverse, the central design shows the Cathedral of the Holy Savior in Polotsk, framed by ornate patterns resembling ancient church decorations. The national emblem of Belarus appears at the top, with inscriptions “РЭСПУБЛІКА БЕЛАРУСЬ,” the denomination 10 РУБЛЁЎ, the year 2008, and the silver mark Ag 925. The reverse features a finely detailed image of St. Euphrosyne, depicted holding a cross — a reference to the legendary Cross of Euphrosyne, a priceless relic of Belarusian heritage. Around her figure are ornamental motifs with four small colored gems in red and green, symbolizing faith and eternity. Born in the 12th century, Euphrosyne of Polotsk was a princess who became a nun, later founding monasteries, schools, and scriptoria, playing a vital role in the cultural and spiritual development of Belarus. This commemorative coin is not only a masterpiece of religious art but also a timeless tribute to a saint remembered for wisdom, charity, and enlightenment.
