100 Roubles N.V. Sklifosovsky

Nikolai Sklifosovsky was a 19th-century Russian surgeon who pioneered antiseptic surgical techniques and field medicine during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78, treating thousands of wounded under combat conditions. Transnistria's decision to honor him reflects the unrecognized republic's deliberate effort to construct a distinct cultural heritage through its commemorative coinage program, issuing silver pieces tied to figures from the broader Russian imperial and Soviet tradition.

The Transnistrian Republican Bank began issuing collector coinage in the late 1990s despite the territory's lack of international recognition following its 1992 war of secession from Moldova.
