Reverse description The reverse features a stylized silhouette map of Transnistria rendered in polished relief at the centre of the field, overlaid at the upper right by a colorized representation of the national flag displayed as two radiating arcs in red and green. To the left of the map, the numeral '80' and the Cyrillic word 'ЛЕТ' (years) are prominently inscribed, while the commemorative legend curves along the lower periphery. The date span '1924-2004' appears to the right, flanking the flag motif. The frosted background provides a textured contrast to the polished cartographic relief and the applied color elements.

Additional information

Transnistria declared independence from Moldova in 1990 during the final fracturing of Soviet authority, and the armed conflict that followed in 1992 left roughly 1,500 dead before a ceasefire brokered by Russia froze the situation in place. The "80th Anniversary of Nationhood" framing counts back to the short-lived Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic established in 1924 — a Soviet administrative unit with no direct political continuity to the modern breakaway state, but one Transnistrian authorities have consistently used to anchor a longer historical legitimacy.

No nation-state recognizes Transnistria, which makes its issuing bank a monetary authority without international standing. These silver commemoratives were produced partly for collector export revenue.
