1000 Roubles Church of Paraskeva of Serbia in Zozuliany

Transnistria issued this coin in 2001 as part of a broader program documenting Orthodox religious architecture within its claimed territory — a deliberate effort to assert cultural and historical identity for a state unrecognized by any UN member. The Church of Paraskeva of Serbia in Zozuliany is dedicated to a 3rd-century Christian martyr venerated across the Eastern Orthodox world, particularly in Serbian and Romanian traditions, which reflects the mixed ethnic composition of the Dniester region.

The Transnistrian Republican Bank issued gold commemoratives in extremely small mintages throughout this period, and KM#31 is among the scarcer early entries in the series.
