| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into two distinct halves by a vertical line bisecting the field. The left half bears the state coat of arms of Transnistria — a Soviet-style emblem featuring a hammer and sickle surmounted by a five-pointed star, flanked by wheat sheaves and bearing the initials PMR on ribbon scrolls — with the denomination '10 РУБЛЕЙ' inscribed above it in bold Cyrillic characters. The right half depicts a stylized athletic figure in motion, rendered in a modern graphic style, with a red enamelled flame motif above the figure's head symbolizing the Olympic spirit, and the date '2008' in the lower field. The circular legend 'ПРИДНЕСТРОВСКИЙ РЕСПУБЛИКАНСКИЙ БАНК' runs along the right portion of the rim in Cyrillic script. |

| Additional information |
Transnistria — the narrow strip of land between Moldova and Ukraine that declared independence in 1990 but remains unrecognized by any UN member state — issues coins through the Pridnestrovian Republican Bank that are legal tender domestically yet essentially uncashable abroad. The 2008 Olympic sports series, of which this piece is part, was produced for the Beijing Games and targeted squarely at the collector market rather than circulation.
KM#149 is among the lower-mintage entries in that series.
