A commemorative gold coin of the National Bank of Belarus, "Hedgehog," with a face value of 50 rubles, has appeared for sale on the online platform eBay. A seller from the USA valued it at 2150 dollars, noticed the publication Myfin.by.
The coin was put into circulation in 2011. Along with it, the buyer is offered a certificate of authenticity.
