| Obverse description | The State Emblem of the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic is depicted in the central field, rendered in relief with its characteristic Soviet-influenced design incorporating a hammer and sickle motif framed by a wreath. The denomination '1 РУБЛЬ' and the date '2019' appear below the emblem. The circular legend 'ПРИДНЕСТРОВСКИЙ РЕСПУБЛИКАНСКИЙ БАНК' runs along the upper periphery, enclosing the design. Decorative bullet separators punctuate the inscription at intervals. |

| Additional information |
Transnistria — the narrow strip of territory between the Dniester River and the Ukrainian border — declared independence from Moldova in 1990 but remains unrecognized by any United Nations member state. Its central bank issues fully functioning coinage anyway, and this "Property of the Republic" series makes the political point explicit in the coin's name: key industrial assets remain state-owned, a deliberate contrast to post-Soviet privatization elsewhere. The region's economy depends heavily on the Cubalchich steel plant in Rîbnița, one of the few Soviet-era heavy industrial facilities still operating at meaningful capacity.
