Comments

The National Bank of the Republic of Belarus in Minsk was created in 1922 and at the time called "Belarusian Republican Bank". Some year after it started working under the direction of the State Bank of the USSR. In 1990, with the independence from USSR, it took the actual name and rules.

The Pahonia is the historical Coat of Arms of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, but it was also the official emblem of the Republic of Belarus from 1991 to 1995.
