| Reverse description | A facing bust portrait of Colonel Mathias Miller dominates the central field, depicted in late 18th-century military dress with a high collar, rendered in high relief against a mirror-like prooflike background. To the left in the middle ground, a battle scene with soldiers in period uniform is depicted in low relief, with a fortification visible in the right background. A laurel branch in low relief occupies the lower field beneath the portrait. The legend МАТИАС МИЛЛЕР arcs along the upper border, with the dates ... - 1770 г. inscribed in the upper field. |

| Additional information |
Mathias Miller (also rendered Matvei Miller in Russian sources) led one of the more unusual foreign volunteer contingents during the 1992 Transnistrian War — a German national who commanded a Cossack unit fighting on the Transnistrian side against Moldovan forces. The conflict lasted only months but produced a small commemorative coinage program years later that Pridnestrovie has continued expanding, honoring commanders who would otherwise exist only in regimental histories.
The Pridnestrovian Republican Bank has issued a sustained series of military commanders in this format, with KM#311 among the later additions.
