Additional information

Transnistria — officially unrecognized by any United Nations member state — issues commemorative coinage through the Transnistrian Republican Bank as a deliberate assertion of administrative independence from Moldova. The Sorokskaya fortress, built by the Genoese in the 14th century on the Dniester's right bank, sits in territory controlled by Moldova proper, not Transnistria — making its appearance on a Transnistrian coin a pointed territorial and cultural claim rather than a straightforward historical commemoration.
