| Additional information |
Rashkov sits on the eastern bank of the Dniester, and the Church of the Holy Trinity there is one of the oldest surviving Orthodox structures in the region, with roots traced to the 17th century. Transnistria's commemorative silver program launched in the late 1990s was partly a deliberate exercise in constructing institutional legitimacy — a breakaway state with unrecognized sovereignty issuing collectible coinage is making a political argument as much as a numismatic one.
KM#19 is an early entry in that program, struck the same year the Transnistrian Republican Bank was still consolidating its role as a de facto central bank for a territory no UN member recognizes.
