| Additional information |
Transnistria — the narrow strip of territory between the Dniester River and the Ukrainian border that declared independence from Moldova in 1990 — has never received international recognition, yet its Republican Bank has operated a vigorous commemorative coin program for decades. These silver issues circulate legally within Transnistria and are accepted by its state institutions, making them among the rare examples of coins with genuine domestic legal tender status issued by a government no foreign state officially acknowledges.
Vasily Bochkovskiy commanded Transnistrian forces during the 1992 war with Moldova. That brief but bloody conflict killed hundreds on both sides and cemented the political separation that persists today.
