The denomination "CUPON 1000" appears in large letterpress numerals to the right, with the word value "una mie" in bold beneath.

The cupon was Moldova's transitional currency, introduced after the country left the Soviet ruble zone. These notes were never intended as permanent — the cupon was a placeholder while the National Bank prepared the leu, which replaced it in November 1993 at a rate of 1000 coupons to 1 leu, making this denomination precisely the one that vanished at par conversion.
The 1993 print date of 30 April 1945 in the data is almost certainly a cataloging or data-entry error — no Moldovan cupon was printed in 1945.
