Belarus Banknotes and Coupons 1 to 100 Rubles, 1992-1993 never got issued

On Stack’s Bowers Galleries auction was fount a lot with a set of 6 pieces in lot. 

This design of Belarussian Rubles was created in Germany by Giesecke&Devrient, printed in 1993, but never got to issued status. 

The $1 Ruble has Kamenets Tower while on the greenish 5 Ruble is Saint Euphrosyne Church in Polotsk. 

The larger denominations of the set features prominent Belarusians. 

The 10 Rubles has Writer Yakub Kolas, pictured, the 20 Ruble has a portrait of Poet Yanka Kupala, and the 50 Ruble features literary critic Maxim Bogdanovich. 

The largest denomination in 100 Rubles features the image of physician, translator and book printer, Francis Skaryna.

Do you think it makes sense to add them to the catalog of banknotes or exonumia?

If these design patterns reached the stage of fully completed banknote specimens, which were commissioned by the issuing authority of Belorussian currency notes, then they belong in the banknote section, imo.

If these design patterns reached the stage of fully completed banknote specimens, which were commissioned by the issuing authority of Belorussian currency notes, then they belong in the banknote section, imo.

Or the bank decided to sell them as souvenir to collectors, just like those Polish 1993 unissued notes. I am sure many collectors would love to get a set regardless of banknotes or exonumia.

Definitely worth listing under ‘Banknotes’ as ‘Unissued Remainders’.

Today I found at the auction a lot with a set of rubles-coupons of Belarus, which were also not put into circulation. 

They are in the PMG slab and their authenticity is beyond doubt. 

Should they also be added to the catalog, do you think?
