| Additional information |
Transnistria declared independence from Moldova in 1990 following a brief armed conflict in 1992, but remains unrecognized by any UN member state. The Transnistrian Republican Bank nevertheless functions as a full central bank, issuing currency accepted only within its own borders. Collector coins like this one serve a dual purpose: generating hard-currency revenue from foreign numismatists while asserting institutional legitimacy that diplomatic channels deny.
The Kitskany Ascension Cathedral, located just outside Tiraspol, is one of the most significant Orthodox sites in the region.
