| Obverse description | Central field displays the state coat of arms of Transnistria, featuring a Soviet-style shield with a hammer and sickle surmounted by a five-pointed star, flanked by sheaves of wheat and ears of corn bound with ribbons inscribed 'ПМР', with a bunch of grapes at the base and the initials 'РМН' on the shield. The denomination '1 РУБЛЬ' appears in the lower central field, with the date '2025' below, flanked by two small dots on each side. The legend 'ПРИДНЕСТРОВСКИЙ РЕСПУБЛИКАНСКИЙ БАНК' curves around the upper periphery in Cyrillic characters. |

Transnistria's "Peoples" rouble series has functioned less as circulating currency than as a state-branding exercise for a territory unrecognized by any UN member. The Transnistrian Republican Bank, operating out of Tiraspol, has issued collector roubles since the mid-2000s as a soft assertion of institutional legitimacy — the implied argument being that recognized states mint coins, therefore Transnistria is a recognized state.
A 2025 date places this among the most recent issues from a polity whose political status has grown considerably more precarious following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, which severed overland supply routes and deepened the enclave's isolation.
