| Reverse description | At centre, a football player is depicted in dynamic pose, rendered in colour as a cameo design element. A circular Cyrillic inscription surrounds the central motif; to the left reads 'ПЕРВАЯ СПАРТАКИАДА В МАССР' (First Spartakiade in the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic), and below to the right appears 'ОКТЯБРЬ 1927 ГОДА' (October 1927), commemorating the date of the sporting event. The design honours the First Spartakiade held in the Moldavian ASSR in October 1927, combining a colourised sporting image with period-appropriate historical reference in an elegant numismatic composition. |

| Additional information |
Transnistria's commemorative coinage program has long targeted the collector market rather than circulation, and this piece is squarely in that tradition — issued eighty years after the first All-Union Spartakiade, the Soviet mass athletic games held in Moscow in 1927 that were explicitly designed as a communist alternative to the bourgeois Olympics. The original Spartakiade drew over 600 delegations and was staged partly to justify the USSR's continued boycott of the International Olympic Committee.
Transnistria itself has no recognized sovereignty under international law, making its numismatic issues legally curios rather than true state coinage.
