100 Roubles Garry Faif

Transnistria — the narrow strip of land between the Dniester River and the Ukrainian border that declared independence from Moldova in 1990 — issues collector coinage through its Republican Bank despite lacking recognition from any United Nations member state. The "Garry Faif" honoree on this piece is Harry Fife, a figure celebrated within Transnistrian numismatic and cultural programs, though documentation on him outside official Transnistrian sources is sparse.

The KM#143 assignment places this within Krause's cataloging of Transnistrian issues, a series that expanded aggressively in the late 2000s and early 2010s as the unrecognized republic used commemorative silver to generate hard currency revenue it could not obtain through conventional sovereign channels.
