| Reverse description | The central field features a polychrome color-printed image of a Red-nosed Pochard (Netta rufina) depicted in the act of taking flight from water, its vivid plumage rendered in naturalistic detail. To the left of the bird, a color image of an open book symbolizes the Red Book of Pridnestrovie (the regional endangered species register). The Latin binomial NETTA RUFINA appears in the lower field, while the Cyrillic legends КРАСНОНОСЫЙ НЫРОК and КРАСНАЯ КНИГА ПРИДНЕСТРОВЬЯ are inscribed across the upper and middle fields respectively. |

| Additional information |
Pridnestrovie — the narrow strip of land between the Dniester River and the Ukrainian border, unrecognized by the United Nations and operating outside most international financial frameworks — has issued collector coinage through its Republican Bank since the early 1990s as a soft assertion of statehood. Wildlife series coins like this one circulate almost exclusively in the secondary numismatic market; the domestic economy runs largely on the Transnistrian rouble in banknote form. The Red-Nosed Pochard, Netta rufina, breeds in scattered wetland habitats across Central Asia and winters along the Caspian and Black Sea basins — within plausible ecological range of the Dniester floodplains.
