A commemorative inscription marking the fifteenth anniversary of the national currency runs across the lower portion of the design. The serial number in red appears at upper right, with the denomination numeral '10' repeated at lower right. |

| Comments |
Transnistria's banknotes have always occupied an awkward legal position — issued by a state unrecognized by any United Nations member, yet functioning as the sole legal tender within a territory that has maintained de facto independence from Moldova since 1992. The Republican Bank operates as a fully functioning central bank despite that ambiguity.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field almost certainly refers to a commemorative date encoded in the design rather than an actual press date — a known feature of this 2009 commemorative issue marking the 64th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the Second World War. The note entered circulation as a collector-targeted issue rather than routine monetary stock.
