| Comments |
The "Liberation" suffix marks this as a commemorative release tied to the 74th anniversary of the Soviet victory in World War II — an occasion the Transnistrian Republican Bank has returned to repeatedly, issuing thematic roubles in years when full commemorative coin programs would be impractical. Transnistria's relationship with that victory is explicitly political: the unrecognized republic uses Soviet-era symbolism with a consistency that few post-Soviet states maintain, and these small-denomination commemoratives are as much ideological objects as monetary ones.
The printed date 30.04.1945 refers to the commemorated event, not the issue date — a distinction that trips up newer collectors.
