| Comments |
Transnistria's banknotes occupy a peculiar position in numismatics — issued by a state unrecognized by any UN member, running a parallel monetary system in a narrow strip of territory between the Dniester River and the Ukrainian border. The Republican Bank has functioned as a genuine central bank since 1994, setting rates and managing reserves for a population that has never formally existed under international law.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field almost certainly references a commemorative date encoded in the serial numbering or print authorization rather than the literal press date — the note belongs to the 2000 series and no Transnistrian printing facility was operational in 1945.
