Transnistria's KGB-series roubles are commemorative issues, not circulating currency in any conventional sense — the breakaway republic has used them partly as collectibles and partly as soft propaganda, marking anniversaries tied to Soviet and Russian historical memory. The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field here denotes the commemorated date, the fall of Berlin, not the production date of the note itself.
Pick 60 belongs to a run of themed issues released by the Transnistrian Republican Bank in 2017, a series that attracted collector attention largely because of its political directness — few issuing authorities name their central intelligence agency on a banknote.
