A beautiful coin from Belarus I started the journey into coin jewelry by first discovering the fun of collecting coins from around the world. Often I would find something special, it was a fun treasure hunt. This coin from Belarus celebrates a tradition of Europe, Candlemas. Some celebrate with a festival of lights (candles) It is celebrated on February 2nd, at the darkest time of winter. For others it is either a Christian or Jewish tradition. Regardless, this coin is a beautiful design and rather rare. Belarus only issued 3,000 of these coins in total, and I have made 3 of them into coin Jewelry.
