History reference:
BYN is strictly the national currency and is used for settlements only on the territory of the Republic of Belarus. At the beginning of 1992, Belarus was in a state of need to develop its own currenc...y, because. was included in the process of secession from the USSR and the formation of its own independent republic. While their own currency was being developed, coupons were issued, and a little later settlement tickets were exchanged at the rate for Soviet rubles. Since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in July 1991, the countrys government has been working to create its own currency. The Presidium of the Supreme Council rejected the initial proposal to call it a thaler, so the countrys national currency is the Belarusian ruble. Often money in Belarus is called "bunnies". In 1992, an alternative to the Soviet ruble was a denomination of 1 ruble with the image of a hare. Hence the name came from. On all banknotes up to 100 rubles, various animals were depicted: bison, wolf, bear, etc., and on banknotes of higher denominations - architectural monuments.

History reference:
The Syrian pound, sometimes the currency of Syria, is issued by the Central Bank of Syria. In 1920, the Syrian Arab Kingdom was created, but the independent state was only a few months old, after whi...ch its territory was occupied by the French army. In this regard, the Egyptian pound was replaced by the Syrian pound, which was pegged to the French franc at a ratio of 1:20 (1 franc to 20 Syrian pounds). In 1926, the French mandated territory was divided into Lebanon and Syria and the Bank of Syria was renamed the Bank of Syria and Lebanon. It is interesting that the Syrian 10 pounds coin in terms of its characteristics and size completely coincides with the 20 Norwegian kroner coin.
