| Comments |
Transnistria's 1994 rouble series emerged from one of the more peculiar monetary situations of the post-Soviet collapse — a breakaway republic, unrecognized by any UN member state, issuing its own currency for a territory wedged between Moldova and Ukraine. The Republican Bank had no access to established security printing infrastructure, and early notes in this series show it.
P#13 is the high denomination of a series notable for its relatively thin security features — a watermark alone, no metallic thread, no UV-reactive elements. Counterfeiting pressure on the 1000 Rouble value was real enough that the series was superseded quickly by coupon-format replacements and later redenomination issues.
