Comments

Transnistria's commemorative issues are a study in contested statehood — the Transnistrian Republican Bank operates as a fully functioning central bank for a territory no UN member state recognizes. This 2015 rouble marks twenty-five years since the self-proclaimed Moldovan breakaway republic declared independence in September 1990, following a violent conflict with Chișinău that left several hundred dead and ultimately froze along a ceasefire line that has held, unresolved, ever since.

The printed date 30.04.1945 is not a production date — it refers to the commemorated event encoded in the note's iconography, almost certainly the Soviet victory chronology the republic consistently invokes to anchor its political identity.
