| Reverse description | At center, a detailed portrait of Marshal of Aviation of the Soviet Union Vladimir Alexandrovich Sudets is depicted in full dress uniform, facing slightly to one side. To the right, a relief image of two military aircraft in flight appears against a fragmentary landscape background, rendered with fine engraving detail. The circular legend at the top of the field reads "V.A. SUDETS" in Cyrillic. At the bottom, a color-applied image of the St. George ribbon is featured alongside the subject's years of life "1904-1981", combining polychrome and relief techniques. |

| Additional information |
Vladimir Alexandrovich Sudets commanded Soviet long-range aviation during World War II before rising to lead the Soviet Air Defence Forces through the 1950s and 1960s. His career spanned the transition from piston-engined bombers to supersonic jets and surface-to-air missile systems — a period of wholesale doctrinal reinvention. That a Transnistrian state bank is issuing commemorative silver in 2025 reflects the unrecognised republic's ongoing project of constructing a distinct national identity through Soviet military hagiography.
