| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed architectural view of the Mikhail-Arkhangelsky Cathedral (St. Michael the Archangel Cathedral) in Rybnitsa, constructed in 2006, rendered in fine engraving occupying the central and lower field. The cathedral is depicted in a three-quarter perspective, showing its multiple onion domes topped with Orthodox crosses, flanking bell tower, and ornate facade with arched windows. The Cyrillic legend МИХАИЛО-АРХАНГЕЛЬСКИЙ СОБОР curves along the upper periphery, with the construction year 2006 inscribed within the upper field. The city name Г. РЫБНИЦА appears in the lower exergue beneath the architectural view. |

| Additional information |
Transnistria — a breakaway state on the left bank of the Dniester River, unrecognized by the United Nations — has issued collector coinage since the 1990s as a deliberate act of administrative self-assertion. The Rybnitsa cathedral series fits squarely within that program. The St. Michael the Archangel Cathedral in Rybnitsa was rebuilt and reconsecrated in the post-Soviet period after decades of Soviet-era suppression of Orthodox worship in the region.
KM#335 is a circulation-format collector piece, not intended for everyday commerce in any practical sense given Transnistria's cash-heavy, ruble-denominated economy.
