| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed depiction of the Church of Saint Trinity (Живоначальной Троицы) in Rashkov, rendered in a realistic architectural style and occupying the central field. The church, originally built in 1778, is shown as a multi-storey stone structure with a distinctive bell tower. The date 1778 appears adjacent to the church building. The legend ЦЕРКОВЬ СВЯТОЙ ЖИВОНАЧАЛЬНОЙ ТРОИЦЫ arcs along the upper periphery, while РАШКОВ is inscribed along the lower margin beneath the architectural image. |

| Additional information |
Rashkov is one of the oldest settlements on the Dniester, with documented Jewish and Moldovan Christian communities dating back centuries — the Orthodox church commemorated here survived Soviet-era religious suppression largely because the village itself was too small to attract sustained institutional attention. Transnistria began issuing collector gold in the early 2000s as an unrecognized state with no access to international financial markets, making these pieces a rare instrument for projecting cultural legitimacy rather than circulating currency.
Mintage figures for this type were never formally published by the Tiraspol authorities.
