| Reverse description | The central device depicts the Order of the Patriotic War, a Second World War Soviet military decoration, displayed in full relief with a multi-pointed star. On the rays of the star, the dates '1945' appear to the left and '2015' to the right, commemorating the 70th anniversary of Victory. The legend '70 ЛЕТ' (70 Years) arcs across the upper field, while 'ВЕЛИКОЙ ПОБЕДЫ' (of the Great Victory) is inscribed along the lower periphery. Stylized laurel branches flank the central device to the left and right. |

| Additional information |
Transnistria's commemorative rouble program has long served the unrecognized state's need to assert institutional permanence through numismatic output — the Transnistrian Republican Bank issues coins that no foreign central bank will clear, spent domestically in a territory whose sovereignty no UN member formally recognizes. The Order of the Patriotic War being commemorated here is the Soviet decoration established by Stalin in May 1942, awarded to Red Army personnel for specific acts of battlefield valor, with over 9 million conferred by the end of the conflict.
Transnistria's deep identification with Soviet symbolism is constitutional, not incidental — the hammer and sickle remains on its flag.
