| Comments |
Transnistria's commemorative rouble series, of which this is one entry, occupies an odd corner of numismatic collecting: the notes are issued by a bank belonging to a state recognized by no UN member. The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field almost certainly refers to the commemorated date — the fall of Berlin — rather than an actual press date, which is a recurring source of confusion with this series.
The October Revolution note pairs awkwardly with that 1945 anchor date, suggesting the series conflates distinct Soviet commemorative threads. Worth noting for collectors tracking Transnistrian monetary policy: these issues function primarily as collector items, with negligible domestic circulation.
