How to get a time minus 60 minutes?

Hello,

date --date '-60 min ago' +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N'

Above command gives the date and time minus 60 minutes

but the problem i am facing is, i do not want to hardcode the value 60
it is stored in a variable var=60

now if i run below command , i get error

date --date '-$var min ago' +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N'

date: invalid date `-$var min ago'

Please suggest
