Transnistria's commemorative note program is one of the more unusual in the post-Soviet world — a breakaway state with no UN recognition issuing collector-targeted currency that nonetheless functions as legal tender within its own territory. This 10 Rouble note marks the 70th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the Second World War, a date the Transnistrian government observes with considerable political intent given the region's close alignment with Moscow.
Pick 53 was printed in limited quantities relative to standard circulation issues, and demand from Russian and Eastern European collectors absorbed much of the supply quickly after release.
