| Additional information |
Transnistria — a narrow strip of territory between the Dniester River and the Ukrainian border that declared independence from Moldova in 1990 but remains unrecognized by any UN member state — issues coins primarily as numismatic products rather than circulating currency. The FC Sheriff piece commemorates a football club that is effectively the economic arm of Sheriff Ltd., the conglomerate that dominates Transnistrian commerce, fuel, and media. The club's 2003–04 UEFA Cup appearance gave the issuer a topical hook.
