| Obverse description | At center, the state coat of arms of the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic is depicted in high relief, featuring a Soviet-style shield with hammer and sickle surmounted by a five-pointed star, flanked by wheat sheaves and with a ribbon at the base bearing the state motto. The circular Cyrillic legend ПРИДНЕСТРОВСКИЙ РЕСПУБЛИКАНСКИЙ БАНК runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 100 РУБЛЕЙ appears along the lower periphery, separated by raised dot ornaments. The mint mark ММД and the fineness designation Ag 925 are inscribed in the field, with the year 2005 appearing below the coat of arms. The overall presentation is in a prooflike finish with a highly polished field contrasting with the frosted device. |

| Additional information |
Transnistria occupies a strip of territory between the Dniester River and the Ukrainian border that declared independence from Moldova in 1990, a conflict that produced a brief but bloody war in 1992 before a Russian-brokered ceasefire. The state remains unrecognized by any United Nations member. Its coins are issued by a central bank of a country that, legally speaking, does not exist.
The Transnistrian Republican Bank has used commemorative silver issues partly as hard-currency instruments, since the circulating rouble holds no convertibility outside the region.
