Additional information

Transnistria's rouble coinage occupies an unusual position in numismatics — the territory has operated its own currency since 1994 despite lacking recognition from any United Nations member state. The Transnistrian Republican Bank functions as a fully operational central bank, issuing coins that circulate domestically but hold no legal tender status beyond the Dniester river.

This piece belongs to a botanical flora series that the bank issued in the late 2010s. Lily of the valley holds particular significance in the region as a native Moldovan wildflower, which gives the choice of subject a quietly pointed local character.
