| Reverse description | A close-up portrait of Anton Golovaty, ataman of the Black Sea Cossack Army, dominates the central field, rendered against a background depicting a fortress under assault by Cossack forces. The circular legend 'АНТОН ГОЛОВАТЫЙ' is inscribed to the left of the portrait along the inner border, while 'АТАМАН ЧКВ' arcs to the right, followed by the life dates '1732-1797' below. A stylized ribbon along the lower rim bears the inscription 'ПРИДНЕСТРОВЬЕ - КРАЙ КАЗАЧИЙ', and the emblem of the Black Sea Cossack Army with the founding date '1787' is centered on the ribbon. |

| Additional information |
Anton Golovaty (1744–1797) was a Zaporozhian Cossack commander who, after the destruction of the Sich by Catherine II in 1775, helped reconstitute Cossack military identity under Russian imperial patronage as a founder of the Black Sea Cossack Host. He led troops in campaigns against Ottoman forces and died during the Persian expedition under Valerian Zubov. The Transnistrian Republican Bank has issued a series of silver commemoratives honoring figures tied to the broader historical claim that the region's identity is rooted in Slavic and Cossack tradition — a framing with obvious political utility for a government unrecognized by any UN member state.
