| Reverse description | The central field depicts a frontal view of the Memorial of Glory in the town of Kamenka, showing a standing soldier figure atop a tall stepped pedestal ornamented with a five-pointed star. Flanking the central monument are two bas-relief panels in low relief portraying scenes of marching and combat soldiers, evoking wartime sacrifice. Stylised clouds appear in the background field to either side of the statue. The legend МЕМОРИАЛ СЛАВЫ arcs along the upper portion of the field in Cyrillic characters, while the inscription г. КАМЕНКА is positioned along the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Kamenka, a small town on the Dniester's western bank, hosts one of Transnistria's numerous Soviet-era war memorials maintained as active sites of official commemoration by the unrecognized state. The Transnistrian Republican Bank has issued a sustained series of these memorial roubles since the early 2000s, functioning less as circulating currency than as instruments of political identity — the unrecognized republic using coinage to assert a continuity with Soviet sacrifice that Moldova's government has no interest in claiming.
