| Additional information |
Transnistria — formally the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic — is an unrecognized breakaway state that declared independence from Moldova in 1990, backed militarily by Russia and never acknowledged by any UN member state. Its Republican Bank nonetheless issues a full circulating coinage, a function that serves the practical needs of a population of under half a million while signaling governmental legitimacy to an international audience that largely ignores it. This zodiac rouble is part of a twelve-coin series issued across several years, each denomination paired with a sign of the zodiac for general circulation rather than collector sale.
The coins circulate domestically alongside Russian roubles and Ukrainian hryvnias in an economy that operates entirely outside IMF frameworks.
