100 Roubles Year of the Boar

Transnistria — the narrow strip of land between Moldova and Ukraine that declared independence in 1990 but remains unrecognized by any UN member state — issues coins through the Pridnestrovian Republican Bank as an assertion of statehood that most of the world officially ignores. The 2007 lunar series entry for the Year of the Boar is part of a broader collector program the bank has maintained with some consistency, targeting the international numismatic market rather than domestic circulation.

KM#113 is among the more modestly weighted issues in the series at 14.14g — closer to a half-ounce format than the heavier prestige strikes that anchor the program.
