Rashkov — known in Romanian as Rașcov — sits on the Dniester's right bank in a zone whose administrative status remains disputed between Moldova and the Transnistrian authorities. The village retains one of the more intact concentrations of pre-Soviet religious architecture in the region, which likely explains why the Pridnestrovian Republican Bank has drawn on it for this issue. Transnistria's commemorative rouble program has long used local ecclesiastical subjects as a form of soft cultural assertion.
