| Reverse description | A sculptural monument is depicted in the central field, showing a standing soldier in military uniform alongside a child at his side, both raised on a stepped pedestal. Flanking the central group are decorative low walls and two coniferous trees rendered in relief, evoking the memorial park setting. The Cyrillic legend МЕМОРИАЛ СЛАВЫ arcs along the upper periphery, while the city name ДУБОССАРЫ appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Dubossary holds a particular weight in Transnistrian memory: it was the site of some of the earliest and bloodiest clashes of the 1992 Moldovan-Transnistrian War, with civilian deaths reported there before the conflict formally escalated. The town's memorial complex commemorates those killed during that undeclared war, which lasted roughly four months and left several hundred dead on both sides before a Russian-brokered ceasefire.
The Transnistrian Republican Bank has issued an extensive series of rouble coins commemorating local monuments and war memorials — this piece belongs to that ongoing program, which functions partly as a soft-power assertion of distinct national identity for a state unrecognized by any UN member.
