| Additional information |
Fyodor Bursak served as ataman of the Black Sea Cossack Host in the early nineteenth century and was instrumental in consolidating Cossack settlement along the Kuban River following Catherine the Great's disbandment of the Zaporozhian Host. His inclusion in a Transnistrian commemorative series is pointed — the unrecognized republic has consistently used coinage to assert a distinct Slavic and imperial Russian cultural identity that Moldova's government does not share.
KM#88 belongs to a broader silver program issued by the Transnistrian Republican Bank in the mid-2000s honoring historical Cossack figures.
