A commemorative overprint stamp is applied to the right portion of the note. The bank title is inscribed in Cyrillic script across the upper and lower registers in three languages — Russian, Ukrainian, and Moldovan — with the denomination rendered in both numeral and text form. |

| Comments |
Transnistria's currency exists in a peculiar legal vacuum — the self-declared republic is recognized by no UN member state, yet the Transnistrian Republican Bank has maintained a functioning monetary system since 1994. The 10 Rouble note from the 2014 series belongs to a redesigned family that replaced the heavily inflated earlier issues, after a 1,000,000-to-1 redenomination in 2000 had reset the scale entirely.
Circulation is effectively limited to the narrow strip of territory between the Dniester River and the Ukrainian border — accepted nowhere else and inconvertible on any formal exchange market.
